Does anyone else have issues with their JL 4 Door seats folded down?

The single folded down seat in the rear, has a seat belt imprint when folded down.

Does anyone else experience this issue?

see attached photos for the imprint while folded down. Anyone know if that seat belt looks positioned correctly?

My wife sits there sometimes with our daughter in the back, and she said the seatbelt catch is too close to her and difficult to latch. It is held with an elastic cord with a hook, so I rearranged the orientation of the cord somehow not to pull too far into the seat. You have to fold the seat down to make sure that the catch would not get trapped on side of behind when seat back is up.

I have the same problem and couldn’t find a solution. Dealership had the soft top box loaded and that left a permanent mark on the single rear seat as shown in your photo. The female end of the seatbelt mechanism is tethered by a bungee type rope and I couldn’t see any other option to relocate it.

I have the exact same issue with my JLUR and it upsets me that even if I dont load anything on top of the folded down seats it leaves an imprint. I've even tried towels over the receiver to see if that would help, but it still leaves a mark that almost seems permanent. Most likely a design flaw. My plan is to take apart the rear seats and see if there is a way to relocate it by removing the bungee or adjusting it.
