Hello everyone -- I adopted William a couple of weeks ago and was wondering if people put seat covers on their seats -- I do have a dog who will be in the car at times so I kinda want them for protection, but I dont know if there are any seat covers on the market that account for the side air bags. Do any of you have seat covers and if so, which ones? thanks so much !
Some folks do have them. I do not, but I see a set of front covers in my future. The original pleather cavers are starting to get worn on my MINI. Something like this might work for you peep. Pet Pad® - Seat Protector
Please keep in mind you have side airbags that will deploy from the side of the seat. Make sure if you get them they have the airbag flap.....
From what I have seen most all seat covers have those, but that is a very good reminder. Safety first!
I kinda hate "me too" posts, but... Me too. ;-) If you do find an answer outside the forums, let us know what you found. I have yet to do any comprehensive Googling, but a cursory search has turned-up nothing, and I too worry about the airbag issue. Wes
Wes - I will let you know what I found out either by posting here or PM you. My hubby has Wet Okole on his Jeep that have side airbags and like eMiniparts said - they do have a slit in them (now i know its for the side airbag) so maybe there are more options out there than we think?
I got my second set of seat covers a mont ago. Got it off eBay for crazy price. Wet Okole, of course! Full set. My "old" set is for sale (see ads on this forum). New set is great! Everything I imagined... And the rear, of course! Vote for PEPPERNSALT in February for MINI of the month...
I had wet okole's in my wrangler and they were great ( ESP when it rained and my top was off) but in hit weather they make your butt sweat , no? But that was in the jeep. Maybe the minis are different...?
I recently put Coverking mesh covers on my front seats because my butt and back were less than fond of the puddle that seemed to form between them and the lovely leatherette seats. I hasn't been too hot yet (in FL, BTW) so the jury is still out on whether they'll solve that problem. I passed on the Wet Okoles due to price and I couldn't imagine neoprene (being essentially rubber) being much better than the leatherette, sweat-wise. They fit and look decent and DO have flaps to allow the side airbags to work.
Could be, but I think I might just order the Wet Okole covers. I like that they're custom-made in the US to order, don't compromise the air bags, and based on the photos, the glove-like fit is exactly what I was wanting. Maybe a tiny bit on the pricy side for a full set? But in the grand scheme of things, not that bad really. Now to pick the colors and style I want...
