Seat Covers & Side Air Bags

I went to Wal-Mart and bought a couple of el cheapo seat covers. As I was installing them, the box said DO NOT install in vehicles with side air bags. I checked the Ridgeline and I wonder if there are any seat covers out there can be used on the Ridgeline with the side airbags???

– My understanding is that the airbag is deployed from the seat itself, hence the cover would inhibit the bag from deploying properly.

I know Coverkings and Wet Okoles account for the air bag. There are others though - perhaps do a search on "Seat covers". I dont think there are many, if any, universal covers that have airbag flaps.

Re: Seat Covers & Side Air Bags

Have a search on here for seat covers - you will find quite a few responses.
personally i got mine from a company called www.proseatcovers.com and I'm really happy with them and they have slits in them for side airbags to deploy.
