You can use a heat gun to possibly restore them to their original shape.
The only stupid questions are the one's that are not asked.

dont hold the heat gun too close, warm the cover slowly, it will soften, lay them on a flat surface, if they are very bad press them very lightly between two pieces. slowly does it.

Wait till the wife leaves the house and throw them in the oven to warm them up. :lol:
Seriously though, start low on the heat and they should get pliable enough to flatten out on a cookie sheet. Works with most pvc plastics. When she complains about the funny smell, tell her you tried out a new recipe. :oops:
