Please advise if anybody can, will try any remedy
Many many thanks

Here's what I'd do: I would find a dye as close as possible to the original colour, and I'd dilute it to the manufacturer's specifications. Then I'd put some in a spray bottle and I'd very carefully spray only the sun-faded parts. I'd let it dry and then I'd wash according to manufacturer's directions. And then I'd dye the covers again, either in the same colour or a shade darker. Generally if you dye something that's two shades, you end up with two shades, which is why I'd pre-dye the faded parts.
