Not much you can do with the sagging I'm afraid

Plastic coated leather in these is prone to sagging - as Jay says, not much you can do with it as conditioner won't work

Yeah only after I applied loads of Gliptone conditioner as there are loads of internet guides about using conditioner and feeding leather did I realise it was just making it greasy and shiny, Im in two minds weather to use leather cleaner on it again to get all that conditioner off but thats another few hours of work undoing my hours of work putting it on, I have seen guides about using a hairdryer what do you think?

Id be tempted to leave it be - the finish can be fragile if worked to hard
