Default Anyone Know How To Get A Dent Out Of Your Leather Seat?

My fiance was riding in my passenger seat last night with her bathing suit on and the back of it, where it ties, is like a huge knot. Even just her riding the car for like 10 minutes to go home made a HUGE divot in the back of the seat. It feels like the foam underneath is dipped in and thus is making the leather look that way. I have seen it before but usually on the bottom of seats. Anyone know how to get these out???

Maybe a few detailing gurus can chime in!

I would pop out in the sun heat when I did the NAV hack on my car, I was stupid enough to put the NAV unit on the front seat and left there for 3h in the sun, when I came back and put the Nav back on, I got few dents on the seat, but after few times in the sun it pop out yayhhhh hope you dents would pop out like mine.

The first method works, I've done it myself.

Wouldn't it just reform by itself over time? If I understand correctly, aren't you just referring to something like if someone stuck their elbow in your seat for like 5 minutes and it left an indentation?

I think that will go away with time/heat.

When i bought tires/rims from a CL user in Louisiana, i had to leave the tires/rims in my car for about a week (i was offshore working). When i finally got back, there were tire indentations in the seats (yes i had blankets down haha). Took maybe a week or so in the Houston heat before it went away. And no, there is nothing left to make you go

Give it time!

Then freak out if it's still there... haha

I accidentally left a jar under a heavy load of stuff (was moving) for 7 hours and there is still indentation from the lid 2 years later, but it is less noticeable.
