I had to transport my old wheels and tires to get my winter tires installed. well tirerack was booked so i had to do it saturday morning. so the tires were in the car for about 20 hours in the backseat. in bags. but now there are some indentations still 2 days later.

is there a way to restore the backseat to perfection the way it was before? do i need to hit it with some steam or any other type of treatment?

 

The back seats in the RL are designed for use of a certain curvature with a crack dividing them although I have seen some cracks dividing 2 arcs of approximately 9 inch radius that would also leave a mark! I suggest that you find 2 a$$holes of around 280 lbs each, sit them both in the back seat and take them for a drive for about 10 hours along a bumpy road and report back your findings!

 

You can do what db suggested and find two larger people 280lbs is overkill but will do the job or you can just wait it out. Its happened to me often as I'm always transporting something in the backseat. It will come out eventually on its own. Warmth also helps the leather reconfigure itself. The cold keeps the identations

 

You could probably pull the bottom of the back seat out and hit it with a hairdryer from the back while pushing out. It comes out pretty easy.

 

If you want to go the fat people in the backseat route let me know. My sister in law and her husband would be more than adequate for the job. Lol.

 

haha, just weight it out...

 

You mean your brother??!?!

 

I was just about to post this^^^, but it could be his wife's sister and her husband.

 

try to condition it, sometimes that with the combination of heat will make the dent come out

 

^^^Correct. My wife's sister. :wink:

 

LMAO Didnt think about that. That was too funny.

Back on topic, VQ said condition with heat, that may actually work

 

Turn to MAX heat with the air coming out of the vents on the center console. Close off the front vents to try to force more air to the back. After about 20 minutes rub around the area.
