Did I not read somewhere, that you should not fit seat covers as they can interfere with the airbags?

I heard this too... a seat cover not designed to compensate for the side impact airbags can prevent them from deploying properly - frightening!

I wouldn't cover the seat mounted side airbags with anything - even if they are supposedly designed to work with them.
