Folding Rear Seats

Does everyone get indentations in the rear seats when you fold them down? I see some big dimples in the leather that havent gone away. is that normal? if it is normal any best practices to prevent that?

thanks!

Yep, you will get them. To help you can put a towel in between them or you would have to make them stock a hair short of fully down, maybe with a brace or something to hold the headrest.

thanks for the feedback. the dimples are receding now somewhat i havent put the seats down for a week so far and i figure i would put a piece of cardboard down over the orange seat belt locks. the corners are what is digging into the leather when the seats are face down.
