    Help - Leather Seat Indents From Car Seat

    I just uninstalled a car seat from my 2016 WRX. It looks like the upper frame and buckle from the Top Tether strap made some really bad/deep indentations in my seats.

    It looks like not only the leather is stretched, but the foam behind the leather is also indented. I wanted to see if anyone has any ideas on how to fix these, or atleast make them less noticeable.

    Here is a pic. Also, keep in mind that Subaru's Leather is very delicate, and probably one of the lowest quality leathers out there.

    From my past experience in my F150 Lariat seats, I kept the leather conditioned very regularly and the indents from my kiddos seats slowly worked their way out over a few weeks.

    Had this happen on the rear seating on my Xterra when we moved. Had them folded flat for moving. Also had some indents. They did work out after a few days.

    Take the seats out for a couple of days they eventually expand back out. I take the seats out regularly to help with the crushing of the foam.

    Thanks for the responses guys! I just took it out yesterday, so it looks like I haven't given it enough time yet. I'll wait for a few more days and see how it looks.

    You take your seats out regularly?
