My driver's seat is also worn along with the Sportline carpet topper, 10 months and 15k miles and the dealer says it's not covered under warranty.

The carpet / floor mat is normal. I removed the original Sportline mat, and fitted a rugs for bugs one and it is also looking pretty work at 6.5k miles.

not heard from my dealer yet but 1000 miles surely shouldnt be like that,wonder how much a new mat is with the sportline embriodery,looks like seat covers on top of sportline seats then! woeful!

It's just the nature of a transporter. Most times I swivel right and slide my arse over the bolster and drop to the floor, in a car you do the same but put your feet on the floor and stand up.. I've tried swiveling right and standing on the step but that doesn't work.. and that's why the bolster get hammered. How do you get out

It’s a van problem!
You just have to use the A post handle to lift your arse and stand on the step. Sort of the reverse of getting in. This won’t eliminate the wear but will significantly reduce it.
That small scuff will be easily invisibleised with the correct treatment. Imho!
