Question Wet Okole + Side Air Bag = Problem?

What's up everyone. I'm one of those "Stick to OEM" style type Civic Owner. However, I'm pretty bored of the "blah" interior. I'm thinking of getting some Black and Gray Wet Okole. I drive a sedan with Side Airbags....will that cause a problem during install? Anyone know? Let me know.

The picture below shows the side airbag so I think it's very safe to assume there should be no problems.

Thanks! Later...

I have wet okole seatcovers too, but I don't have Side airbags, so I don't know if this is an issue or not. Just ask wet okole directly then ask Honda just to make sure. Good luck and good choice you will love them I'm sure...

Disconnect the battery and let it sit for five minutes. There is a two minute safety standard that the airbag has to have enough juice to explode after the juice gets cutoff. From the pictures, the side airbag is visible and should not affect the SRS system. Five minutes is the safe and it is better than paying the dealership or a shop to check the system out and reset the SRS light.

don't worry, there are holes one the side of front seat cover!

just TELL them you have SIDE AIR BAG before you buy!

I got them! no problem! and very very nice!!! I would say wet okole cover is the 3rd good choice after real leather sport seat and leather seat cover
