Has anybody tried the mini stretchable front seatcovers? I have heard some news from the dealer that some of them tear while they are being installed, i guess this has something to do with the airbag provision of the seatcover. Anybody have any experience regarding these?

Aloha, FNG here.
I just got some panther black ones.
They are the factory mini kind.
There is a seam on the airbag side that has weak threads to pop open for the air bag deployment.
They are both a Mother and a B@#ch to get on, so I can see the shop apes ripping that seam.
Hope when I hop in w/ my bat belt on I don't snag it.
Got the drivers side on partially didn't remove the plastic yet.
Helps w/ the sweat a little but heat is still there.
I had a ventilated seat mat from sharper image that worked great.
Draw backs are it occupies the lighter plug and wiring breaks after a year or so.
Oh, It has the shiatsu action.
I have not seen them for a while though.


This is a great site, been up 24/7 digesting much stuff.
