Remove dimples from Dash Pad??

I got a good deal on an OEM Dash Pad on Ebay. It's got three small dimples in it by the left side of the Bezel down low.

My truck will be a daily driver so I am not too concerned about it but, I was thinking maybe some mild heat would allow them to flatten out. Anyone Know? Should I just leave them be as opposed to maybe ruining it?

Try the heat gun - but, from the back side.
