Wouldn't that completely defeat the side airbags during an impact, making them completely useless? Like Macaw, when I looked at the photos, that was the first thing that I thought of, and I noticed it only because I just recently looked at some sheepskin covers at Costco that were specifically designed for seats with side airbags. The airbag covers on the seats would need to be completely uncovered to function normally, wouldn't they? Nice looking seat covers for sure, but if they defeat the safety of the airbags................

Just to let you now they are tested to work with side air bags!! There is a pocket on the side that the air bag is on. it is a (split-slit) type pocket. the bag will deploy through the opening!! NO PROBLEM!!!
Thanks for all the + comments!!!

Hey guys and gals,

The covers are great! We worked together with WetOkole on the designed of the covers. If you look carefully you will see our actual car in their listing. The owner is a good friend of ours and his company has done a fantastic job on the covers.

A suggestion for everyone....

You may want to order these covers from us directly. We are Wet Okoles distributor and sell these covers for much less. We can have them done in any pattern you like. Here is the direct product link. Our listing price includes full color piping at no extra charge.

Interior:Seat Covers

Thank you....
