Default Nuluxe crease on driver side seat

Hi guys. Has anyone replaced the driver seat cover themselves? What is the Part number for the red roja driver side seat cover? OR do any of you know how to fix this? My car is no longer under warranty and the dealers would probably just call it wear and tear. Thanks!

I've heard of people using steamers to get creases out of leather. Not sure if it would be the same for NuLuxe.

I believe you have to replace the whole bottom cushion, as the seat foam is basically injection molded into the seat cover.

Maybe hit it with a hair dryer and see if the heat is enough to puff out the foam.

I have the exact same crease in my driver's seat. Luckily my warranty expires end of this month and the replacement seat cushion is on order and covered under warranty. It's not repairable.

I'd probably find a way to add foam under it. Or take it to an upholstery shop. They probably wouldn't charge much to fix this.

It's like you guys have the exact same behinds lol. Anyone with a more recent 2017/2018 with the same kind of creasing?

I have a 2016, 2.5 years of ownership, 35k miles, seats look brand new (except for a few creases on the side bolsters from hitting it occasionally)
