Did you get seat covers for your Euro?

Hi,

My Euro is only a few weeks old and was wondering if you guys got seat covers for your Euro when you just got it?

My Euro is the standard one. I was told two things by two different people.

The dealer said to use very thin layered seat covers as it may interfere with the srs airbags.

My mate told me based on the cloth seats, I shouldn't get seat covers as the material on the seat covers, can damage the cloth when rubbed against the cloth of the seat after sitting on the seat covers for a few years.

As this is my first new car, my aim is to protect the seats and anything that I can!

Should I get seat covers for my Euro? And if so, must I get really high quality ones?

Could you please suggest some good places to check out for seat covers?

Thanks in advance! :)

Do NOT put seat covers on a seat with airbags in it.

Didn't I tell you to read the manual already?

You don't need seat covers for the base Euro. Mine is a 2004 and the fabric is still good! I also park outside.

Yeah I did read the manual stating that bit but the dealer also told me seat cover that weren't made of thick fabric would be fine...guess he wasn't giving me best advice for the car since he had already sold the car and received the $$.

Thanks mate, I'll stick with what the manual says!

Thanks for the replies. Thats one less thing I need to add to my shopping list for the Euro now!!

I got sheepskin seat covers from Autobarn for 2007 Euro with approved side cutouts for airbags

Yetch, I'd pass, personally.

I also have seat covers on mine from Autobarn with holes on the side for the airbags.

I don't need seatcovers. Standard ones already more than good enough.

I'm interested. Questions

1) Were they "generic" or specific for the Euro
2) How good is the fit and finish
3) What did they cost (approx).
4) What was their "name"

Thanks in advance.

They were generic
Fit and finish is very good
I think they were $250
Can't remember name
Just ask for sheepskin seat covers for euro and they will show you that's what i did
I think there were 3 different wool lengths short medium and long, i got medium black, i think longer was more expensive, they have pockets at the back and small pockets at the front for phone, keys etc, much more comfortable than standard seats i love them, hope this is a help

Mine were just normal cloth material, about $80. Fit is good except for seat area since it dips, but you put your butt there so no biggy. If I took them off and refitted I'd prolly get a better fit.
Can't remember name as got them 2yrs ago.
