Dent In Carbon Buckets Head Rest

No clue if anyone else has had this issue or if it’s normal, but for some reason my driver head cushion on my bucket seats has formed somewhat of a indent, guessing from all the launches. Passenger side seems fine and looks new. Car only has 2k miles on it, any advice?

You can remove the actual headrest part with a t25. I wonder if you can just buy that piece as a replacement, maybe check the back of it for a part number.

If not try using a blow dryer to heat it up slightly till it comes back to shape?

Yeah I saw the cushion is something like 100-200 bucks might bring it up with the dealer to try and get a replacement part.

If it’s a defect, then sure, warranty the item.

But things ‘wear’ and will never be perfect.
