2015 TDI SEL
Hello All,

First time poster here. I just purchased a 2015 VW Golf TDI SEL that was modded with the software fix. I am coming from a 2011 VW Golf TDI (Base). Totally awesome upgrade (and for only an extra $2,500 after the buyback!)

Anyway, the rear seat has some indentations in the leatherette from what appears to have been a child seat. I did some quick searching online and saw that heat/steam can help raise the foam and smooth out the leather.

I want to use my portable clothes steamer on it to puff it back out. Has anyone ever tried this (or something like this) on the TDI SEL leatherette? I am terrified of potentially making matters worse.

Ask the dealer to put you in contact with someone that specializes in these type of repairs. My MK6 GTI had a wear spot from a rear facing seat that they made look like new
