Leather Seat dented by Seat belt

[garrardrj]

When i have had the rear seat down with stuff loaded in the boot one of the rear seat belts (the metal bit) has been pointing down when i folded over the seat and it has pushed into the seat base causing a dent. This was 3 weeks ago and it is still pushed in quite alot. I have tried heating the leather squeezing it etc to try and get it back into shape without success. Any ideas how to sort it out ? Is there a nack ?

Time.    plus maybe using that seat to get a bit of pressure on the dent from different angles.

Sames happened on mine too.

I had the same problem on my old bora. Used to use it for work. As the parcel shelf cannot be removed I was always putting the back seats down which caused a fair bit of dentage on the leather. I used to spend at least an hour or two every weekend trying to get these out. One method I found that partially worked was using a rolling pin with a bit of heat.  I think if you can get some heat on the area your working on it helps the sponge to rise/plump up. It was always worse in the winter too.

I get these issues quite a lot at my work (building Rolls-Royces) and the simplest way of getting them out is with a hairdryer/heat gun. Gently heat the leather and manipulate it with your hands to shrink the dent out.

Hope this helps!
