Seat Covers
Are your seat covers airbag compatible?
Our custom-made seat covers that are airbag compatible have been tested and meet the LTNZ (formerly LTSA) standards. These custom made car seat covers incorporate a specially crafted seam to allow the normal function, safety and deployment of a side impact airbag.
Not all seat fabrics are airbag compatible so remember to check your custom car seat cover selection includes the airbag provision.
The special airbag deployment seam area is identified with a side airbag tag sewn into the side of the seat cover. Place this tagged side over the side impact airbag on your seats backrest.
The seam accommodations will in no way affect the fit or durability of the seat cover.
How do I install my seat covers?
Fitting custom fit car seat covers may seem a little confusing. However firstly identify your components by holding them against your seats. i.e. headrest to headrest etc. Then take time to “dress” your seats.
If your covers first appear ill fitting don’t be afraid to push and/or pull the seat cover to fit the contours. Also ensure all ties are correctly tied, aligning any latch hole provisions, or gaps for armrests (if applicable). To fit the covers properly, please allow fitting time of up to 30 minutes for front seats and up to 40 minutes for rear seats, bearing in mind that time will vary depending on your seat configuration.
Should the fit in some way not be acceptable, please free to call our customer service team on 0800 200 021
