Don't know what caused it, the car is used for 'every day use' so it could be anything.

Maybe the dense foam that was used decided to have a memory and stay that way whatever caused it.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi all,
I noticed two dents on the glove compartment today in our 996 C2 cab. Don't know what caused it, the car is used for 'every day use' so it could be anything.
Can such dents in the leather parts be repaired ? We have some similar dents around where the windscreen is mounted...

What is a 'glove compartment'? My 99 C4 no gots...
Can you remove the 'skin' and put some padding behind it? Maybe the dense foam that was used decided to have a memory and stay that way whatever caused it. Guessing..
Mine has like a "puncture" or small dent in the padding where a glove compartment would be if I had one so I'm interested in this too. It's no big deal but my eye is drawn to it.
You can try putting a lot of leather coditioner on it and letting it soak in. Can take several applications. You can also try light heat from a hair dryer. Both only work if it is just the leather that is dented.
It is all leather.
[Function12] Thanks for the advice, it is worth a try.
Here is a pic. I guess it is hard to tell from a pic, but it is actually worse than what the pic make it look like.
My passenger seat had an impression in the leather from my skis last season when I ended the ski season, from the bindings. I used a leather treatment and a hair dryer on low and it worked for me.
