    Anyone ever experience this? I had my rear seats down for 2-3 weeks and I think the seat belt pieces must have caused these indents.
    Any tips to fix?

    Leave the seats upright for 2-3 weeks.

    Indents will work their way back out.


    Edit: PS, put the buckles in the little pockets next time.

    Mine have been down almost continuously for 2+ years. We keep a crate back there for the dog. I try to position the buckles between the seat cushions as I fold the seats down.

    Ok sweet I hope you’re right. I thought leather didn’t wotk itself out once it had been stretched but I guess I’ll see

    Definitely going to make sure the seat belts are positioned better in the future

    I had my seats down for a week with a large amount of weight on the plastic backs while driving hundreds of miles on backroads.. The impressions were temporary.

    If it was real leather that might be the case. I thought Toyota only used synth leather?

    Happened to me. The indents go away after a while.

    Did Ya try pushing it in with your hand and maybe a hair dryer on low? I don't know, just thinking that is what I would do. Check that, actually I would drink a beer and not worry about it.
