Leather seat dents

Just had a set of 4th gen leather seats sent over to me here in Australia. The back seat has a couple of dents that really stand out. Has anyone taken out dents in leather before? They really upset me since I had them sent so far. Something in the container must have been put on top of it. Any help please? thanks.

Re: Leather seat dents

lot of times just using a good leather conditioner and placing even pressure on it, then letting it sit for a while does it for me

Re: Leather seat dents

leave them to sit in your garage or living room for a while.
the dents should go away.
if not, sit on them and it will stretch the leather back into position

Re: Leather seat dents

Bought them on EBAY about a year ago and just brought them over in a container a couple of weeks ago. I had another set in the Camaro that I had before this car. The fourth gen seats in leather are hard to beat. Mine were the wrong shade and I had them dyed here in Melbourne. Looks and feels great. Nothing to compare with them. Ron

Re: Leather seat dents

i like the 4th gen seats.
i have decided to customize the interior a bit. my wife is going to retrim the thirdgen seats but the foam is split and i am would rather get the fourth gen seats anyway.
i want to get the forth gen door handles and console too. i will have to find a forth gen wrecker.
