Childseat rear headrest compression

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
I recently took delivery of my new 2021 Model 3. I installed my child’s car seat that has an anchor clip/strap that goes over the headrest (my old car it went under the headrest so this wasn’t an issue). I cinched it down pretty good compressing the headrest. After about a week, I wasn’t feeling too good about it so I moved the seat to middle where there was no headrest.

Of course now there is a U-shaped dent in the middle of the headrest. Has anyone had experience with this, and if so can I expect to recover over time?

thanks!
 
Page 39 of the manual states “For single-strap tethers at the outboard seating positions, run the strap over the outside-facing side of the head support (same side of the head support as the seat belt retraction mechanism)”.
