Default Noticed big dents in leather from folding down seats in my Avant.

I went camping this weekend and folded down the seats in my new Avant for a couple of days. When I put the seats back up, I saw some big dents in the leather from the seat belt attach mechanisms being squeezed between the seat back and bottom.

Am I doing something wrong or did Audi not design the fold down feature very well? Have you guys seen the same problem in both sedan and avant?

(BTW I have the premium leather package)

Default Not designed very well

I constantly keep them folded. I use a towel to lessen the pressure.

Default Every car I've ever seen with leather has had that prob.

It will go away in a few weeks or so.

Default yes, i have that same problem...

so i only fold down the smaller seat so no seatbelt buckle gets in the way. It's big enough for my surfboard to get through, so it's enough for me.
