Technical A question for your upholstery experts, or wannabes

Can the "dents" or depressions in these seats be eliminated without tearing them apart?
ANY info will be greatly appreciated.

 

Steaming them may help

 

Worst case replace the foam padding.

 

Do not use a heat gun. Sometimes it will ruin the leather. Put them in the sun if you don`t have a steamer.

 

I'm guessing the foam underneath has taken a set. If you don't want to replace the foam you might try to overlay a slab of foam to restore the profile.

 

vinyl or leather?

 

Yeah, the seat is leather....hope I can save it without too much grief!

 

***uming these marks were caused by something pressed against them. Wipe the seats down with a conditioner. Leave them in direct sunlight on a hot day. The foam/cover will return to original shape.. It might take a couple times.. Just keep surface from drying out.

 

Worst case scenario take the covers off nicely and steam the foam out with a clothing steamer, it will help push it back to its original shape. Then reinstall the covers, may have to steam those too. Late model seats are relatively easy and quick to **** around with.

Was something leaning or sitting on the seat? Set them in the hot sun when you can get the sun or place them in a warm room for a few days. But do not use direct heat on them from a heat source such as a heater, blow gun, etc...

 

Thanks for the info guys!
