Don't front seat covers effect the airbags?

Only if they go off

ive used the sport ones at halfords, black with a read bit at top, they are really hard wearing, either that or get some from parts like gsf or somewhere like teng tools or mac toold (they are £££ mind

i have seen some on fleabay with the seat logo on but have no comment as never bought one ,

how do they effect airbags??

 

[DannyC87]

The side airbags in the seat will not deploy properly. The seat fabric is designed to tear along the seam to allow the airbag to release, whereas a seat cover may not tear sufficiently.

you can buy covers that work with side airbags, if not get the plastic ones l

Scrolling over ebay there are lots of plasticy ones and i just wonder for driving down to lemans if they will be slightly hot and sticky compared to fabric ones, what are they like on long journeys? Andrew where the one youve got plastic or fabric.

i dont think i got airbags in my seats?? its not got a symbol or anything on the side of the seat.

they were the plasticy ones m8, didnt think they were too bad (not that wales has similar weather !!!)

but recall on the hot days sometimes would stick to your back a bit , but to compromise my seats were like new ,

boys i knew , where they were smoking and blim'd the covers but not through to actual seats ,

i had the dearer ones , active sport i think and not halfords own brand , which came as a single not as pairs , are waterproof 'ish so if they boys cant hold an pi$$ u mite by lucky -

i remeber tippin a can of coke over them and thought bugger but it was ok - it would probably soak through over a prolonged period ,

hope it helps ,

im gona be puting them back in mine, might attempt the fleabay seat logo ones



GAz i think the logo is in the middle of the seat by the b pillars it should say in your manual , front and side airbags

Cheers for the info i think il give them a go as id hate to get a blemish on what is a very new looking interior. sad i know.
