I've heard that indentations in leather can sometimes be corrected my moistening the leather and then warming with a hair drier. Please could anyone advise if this is likely to be possible? Looking at buying a used trim panel but it has some marks apparently caused during storage. It's definitely leather rather than vinyl.

I can't upload photos from my iPhone but could add some later.

Thanks

hot and cold, as you said heat with a hair dryer then cool with a cooling block. All will be dependant on the substrate though, ie is it foam backed, amount of glue etc.
