Default Seat Covers

Replacing seat covers on a 1975 coupe, I completed one seat and for the most part it came out good. I do have a little issue with wrinkles. I have tried every method possible, hair dryer, heat gun and iron. But for the life of me, they wont come out. I stretched the leather as tight as I can and as sooth as I can when I installed. Has anyone else had this issue? does anyone have a way to get them out. Seat looks very good except for the wrinkles

When I had my seat done at an upholstery shop, they built up the foam that had compressed over the last 40 years and this took care of any voids which can cause this issue. Outside of that, you will not fix this issue.

I Replaced all the old foam padding with new padding. Wrinkles only seem to be on the left side of seat back. Any other wrinkles are minute and really almost unseeable
