journeygal Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 just purchased a 2015 Journey and would like to get some sheepskin seatcovers for the front seats. Ordered some that said they work with side impact airbags, but they had two sets of hooks to hook under the seat and with all the electrical wiring under the seat, this doesn't look like a good idea to me. Any ideas? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj cowboy Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 I thought about seat covers too. My problem is, I have heated seats. The seat covers are designed to rip where the airbag is. I personally don't trust that though. If it slows down the airbag even a millisecond, then it won't be fully deployed when you hit it. YouTube a side impact crash test. You'll see what I mean.

journeygal Posted April 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Thanks..my last car was a 2003 Dodge Caravan Sport. Never thought about side airbags being a problem with seat covers. I would've gotten another Caravan (tho I guess they come with side airbags now), but the new Caravans look like Kleenex boxes on wheels. Guess I'll have to be careful, though I imagine the upholstery is pretty sturdy. Tell that to my 90lb. dog! dj cowboy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dhh3 Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Welcome to the forum. Maybe you could cut the covers to the size of the seat surface and use velcro to hold them on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
