Leather seat cover conversion w/side airbag?

srt2stang725 · 03-23-2008

Does anyone know if there are leather seat covers that I could buy for seats with side airbags? Or if not what is the difference between the seat covers for side airbag seats and no airbag seats? Could i just get the ones for seats w/o side airbags?

I'm not sure how much different the covers are but I have Katzkins and they have tags saying side air bag on them and I don't have side air bags. Does the side of your seat have any special stitching other than the stitching that is running up and down the edges? If you want I can call Katzkin for you and find out if they make a different seat cover for the side airbag?

katskinz makes seat covers that are SRS approved.

but installing them yourself may be an issue, as when you remove the old cover you will have the airbag exposed, and putting the new ones on incorrectly, could damage or interfere with the side airbags.
