Anyone have a source for side-impact airbag friendly front seat covers? Wet and dirty dogs are making a mess!

I found this by using the "Search" feature above.
search seatcover
(I'd thought I'd seen this mentioned before, and it does look like there are some).

Still... does not indicate seat airbag compatibility.

Three of the posts on that thread mention side airbag compatibility. What up?

I just received my seat covers from Seats Covers Direct. They are 50% compatable with side impact airbags! Thy made the passenger seat cover to work with the side impact airbag but not the driver side. Also, one of the elastic tensioners fell off with no undue stress. So, back they go to the manufacturer for alterations and repair. Oh well, what do you expect for $300! A little voice in the back of my head told me not to do it. I would not recommend them to anyone because of the price but the material looks like it will fit my needs once they get my order right. I have a dog that likes to ride with me and I didn't want the neoprene type cover. I wanted something that can take the wear and tear of the dog and washable.

50%???? Amazing... Am I correct when I assume that Seat Covers Direct will make everything "right?"

Even so, thank you for the information.

I'm sure they will fix it.

It took a long time, and I was the first at my dealer, but I just picked up a pair of Nissan side-impact airbag friendly front seat covers. Part number 999N4-WQ2FR. $169.00 (+ tax) for both front buckets with single, medial armrest.

I'm satisfied.

I have received my seat covers back with the "hole" added (see earlier post)for the side impact airbags. I had a good build up of dog hair, drool, etc on the covers so I washed them in the washing machine. They came out like new. Takes about 10 minutes to removed them and then 10 minutes to re-install them. I think the fabric will wear well.
