i had a dehumidifier resting on my passenger seat and when i took it out there were 4 rings left in the leather from the base of it (very stupid i know) and its annoying me, does anyone know a way to remove them by heating it/cooling it/ stretching it etc. maybe getting a fat lass to sit in there for a while??

are you sure that your passenger seat is not from an Audi?

Haha nice one adi. winkeye

I had a similar problem where I clamped the back of the seat and leather together with a clamp and tiher seal as seat back had come off and was hanging loose, stupidly should of put cardboard oir something under clamp to prevent marking.

I used leather conditioner and few coats ans tried to just iron it out sort of thing by rubbing and pressing, then when the conditioner sets in it goes supple and makes it more strecthable. I think half of mine just came out on its own though, try that though with the leather conditioner and rubbing it out, worked for me, isn't a fast process though.

Cheers
