Open Windows
Same for me.
I left the windows down while it was parked in the garage.
If you do not have a garage or a secure place maybe take them out and leave them on a back porch or somewhere for a day or two.
I remember how strong they were when I first opened them.

I would grab this and spritz the covers before installing.

It's the foam that goes flat,the dealer has replaced it once allready & it has gone down again.I think i will take it to a shop & have GOOD padding put under the cover.

Replacing the foam under the leather is OK, but my point was why cover the original seat hides with rubber? I'm sure folks have their reasons, as posted here. I never have seen the need or reason to.

Ken, people apparently have had issues with the padding. I understand that. My '06 has a bit over 21,000 miles on it, mostly local stuff (translate as a lot of in and out of the car), and my seats are like new.
