That seems to be super-common. There was a thread on it a month or two ago. My '98 with tinted windows has never had any fade. I have 35% tint, and is parked in the sun on every weekday (was every day for the first 2 years).

Fold the seats down and then put a jacket or something over it.

Eh, once the fading gets too noticable, I will just replace them with another rear seat.
