warmth should help to?

or maybe even heat cycles?

it really would, the heat cycles in the car when the mats are bunched up in the corner is most likely the cause.

Putting wieght on it prob. wont do anything. You need to steam the wrinkle out.

Steam iron will make it worse. Steam will stretch the carpet more than it is already.

steam will loosen the rubber and it will smooth out

Not a steam iron. Steamer.

That might actually be a good idea. Soak it with water and nuke it. Just watch it very closely.
