When I fold down the rear seats, the center seatbelt buckle (red arrow) sticks up into the center seatback/armrest (yellow arrow), leaving this nasty little scar.

I cannot tuck the buckle away as there is not enough room in the little pocket right next to it.

It refuses to lay flat on its side, instead choosing to stick nearly straight up at the angle you see in the photo.

1) Does anybody else have this problem?

2) Assuming I can find a solution, is there anything I can do to the leather to massage this out? TIA.

I still have indentations from my ski trip a couple weeks ago. Next time, a thick blanket will be covering the seatbelt.

I'm hoping my detail tomorrow morning will solve this. I'll be conditioning the leather, so I'll tell you if it helps.

Same thing, and with ski season here, I will be having the center down alot.

it's so rare i'm carrying passengers, and even when i'm, i've never carried more than 2 people in the back seats...

i moved my amp and cap from behind the seats to the trunk for that reason. it goes away with some love, granted you dont do it anymore

must have had the seat folded down for a while prior to delivery.

that could also be like the gallon of leather conditioner thats been put on the leather in the car.

Place a thick, folded towel on top of the buckle. Then lower the seatback.
