Front seat covers

Dancake · Feb 13th, 2015, 19:39

Does anybody use front seat covers on their S60/V70, and if so which ones are you using? My car is an '04 D5 S if it makes a difference. Any help appreciated.

Wouldn't they interfere with the side airbags?

Looking at the seats, the covers wouldn't interfere if they were routed between the cushion and the plastic bit with SIPS on it. Although I do not know what way the airbag deploys. If it's straight up then the covers could pose a problem.

I believe it deploys out of the outer vertical seam of the bolster (door side).

It'll have to be a blanket on the drivers seat then. Cheers for the info mate

I get enough grief for driving a 'granda' car without putting a knitted bead seat cover in lol, but the shape would be ideal.

Second hand interior can be had for less than 200, using that would keep your current interior pristine. If you sell it on when you get rid of the car then it could end up costing barely anything to keep your current seats in great shape.
