Stretched leather =-(

[Todd_Rammit2023]

quick question for the interior guys... set my gym bag down earlier in some water to get things out of my pockets and such ... totally not thinking tossed it in the back seat with a wet bottom of the bag. It sat there for a few hours before I got it back out as we had a kids football game to attend... now my back seat has a "ripple" in the leather where the wet bag with gym stuff in it was sitting. Will this stretch back out with some sun/heat and when it dries? Or am i screwed and just have a ripple in my seat forever now =-(

A pic would help but generally heat from sun will help for wrinkles and such. If you have a steamer that will work great and quick as well.

It doesn't go back on it's own I can say that much.
My rear seat center console (leather) is the same way from leaving the rear window open overnight when it was raining.

its not bad but definitely has not gone back yet =-(

Yeah, thats not to bad. It will go away eventually just from heat and normal usage will stretch it back out.

I don't think I would hit it with a steamer. Leather can get rock hard from boiling, armor was made this way in ancient times. Steaming it might stiffen it. Leather conditioner maybe?

And a steamer could damage the foam under it, unless OP removes it.
