Switching passenger seat

The child seat sensor is bad on my front passenger seat. I picked up a used seat at the local wrecking yard which has a working sensor and is in really good shape. The only thing is, it looks like while sitting in the junk yard, they had something sitting on it? There are five little indentations that don't seem like they will disappear. They are pretty deep but no cuts or tears. Is there a way to get these indentations out? Pic is below

I guess the leather is stretched. Steam maybe?
But you will need to take the leather off (I believe it is fairly easy to do).
Might as well put your current leather there.
The foam is probably also permanently indented.

Take it to a tack shop. They will know what to do. (Tack is leather gear for horses.)

Usually that happens, and sometimes it retracts by itself. When I found a new seat for my moms CLK, it looked just like that. After sitting in it for about a week, it eventually stretched back to its original shape. Wait a few days to a week. If you see no improvement, do what Moviela said and take it to a tack shop.
