Default Fr. Seatcovers and Airbags?

Just wondering...was thinking of putting seat covers on the front seats of my 2013 xB. I notice there are SRS Airbag labels on the sides of the seat backs.

How can you have seat covers if there are airbags in the sides of the seat backrests?

You are asking a Open Question that is only a small chance anyone here can Answer.
There is No Sole Seat Car Cover Manufacturer that sells a Universal Product that covers all the different vehicles in the world.

As an Example, on my dash cover, I am using DashMat because they offer a cover that has a flap for my SRS Passenger airbag on my 2015 tC RS9. That is not the case for all their competitors.

Your Best Bet is to try and find a Manufacturer for your Seat Covers on your 2013 xB and Ask their Customer Service whether it permits Deployment of your SRS Seat Side Airbags.

Here is one Source of different Manufacturers of Seat Covers: 2013 Scion xB Seat Covers

There are others Online where you have to Conduct a SEARCH.

Sorry, thought I answered this is the other thread. Both the Clazzio and Coverking brands that Mr_Luv and I recommended are designed with side airbags in mind. They have stitching that will tear away when the airbag goes off, letting them deploy normally.

I got a Clazzio blue leather seats on my 2014 xB, and they are design to work with the air bags. I'll post pictures when I get a chance.
