That's why the person was asking if they were airbag safe. They were asking for covers that were advertised as airbag safe.

Will Seat Covers work on Seats with Side Airbags?

We keep hearing from people that the Dealership told them they can't put Seat Covers on their car cause it has side airbags. Seat Covers can be installed on Vehicles with Side Airbags. We Custom make our covers from scratch for each individual vehicles specifications. We have tried and tested them, with 100% success. We also tested a seat cover that was not custom made for the airbags, and the Seat Cover in fact did hinder the airbag from deploying properly.

Great seat covers for the ET

I covered my front seats with excellent covers from this Canadian firm.

I got the black/blue panel. neoprene covers. Other fabrics available. They fit like a glove and everyone exclaims how great they look. No squirming, sliding, slipping, etc...

1. They fit like a glove.
2. They look and feel great.
3. They have the blow-out portions for side air-bags.
4. They are great quality.
5. The headrest cover fits perfect.
6. They even have pockets in back like OEM seat cover so you do not lose functionality of the pockets. Strong too!

About $210.00 for the pair Well worth it. They stay cool in our hot Chico sun. and do not burn your legs when wearing shorts.

Check them out.

I have recently found an owleys company by this https://owleys.com/all-products/ link. We have already ordered two rear seats with covers: one for our 3-years-old daughter and for 1-year-old puppy labrador. So, our children (haha) are in safety :3

Wish you to find your variant as well
