Need help with creased leather seat (with picture)
Hello,
The summer months where I live get real hot and it affects the leather seats. I sat on the edge of the seat on a hot day and it creased the leather and now it looks terrible. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? The car is currently up for sale and I don't want anyone picking up on it.

Any help would be my much appreciated.
Try gently heating the creased area with a hair dryer. Set the heat level to low initially, and gently massage the seat material as you heat it.
Just get a seat bottom on eBay, clean it up and it's two screws to replace that bottom. The seat itself doesn't even need to come off. You can get a passenger-side bottom to replace a driver one (more than a few pristine ones; validate the interior code on the listing against your data card), but you do need to drill 3 rivets to get the occupancy sensor bracket off. The occupancy sensor itself you can just zip tie under the seat. I wouldn't remove it, as it looks like a bladder system that may deflate and change the feel of the seat.
You'll also need to disconnect the battery, and study up on how the connector comes apart to cut down on your time doing gymnastics.
is this the leather or mb-tex vinyl seat? i just replaced my seat bottom with the $150 vinyl from ebay. didn't take long but it was a pain in the rear. the new one doesn't have the pebbled texture, but i think i'm the only person who'd notice it
