Seat Covers

Does any one know where I can get tropical pattern seat covers that won't interfere with the air bags in front? I would also like some for the back seats.

They do not show a tropical fabric but may be able to get it for you. i have a set on the front seats and they are very nice.

seasalsa,

Did you order the covers that accommodate side airbags? I just mine a couple of days ago and noticed that the two front covers appear to be identical. So the opening for the airbags is on the left side for both (o.k. for the driver's seat, but not for the front passenger). I posted this question on another site and sent email to GT Covers as well. Hopefully this was just an accident. I would be surprised if this was by design. Also, if you got the covers for the back seat, did you have to literally remove the seat to get the cover on?

Thanks,
--Andy

Our GT covers came with openings on opposite sides to match the airbags. I bet it was just a mistake.

Andy,
Yes, I got the ones for side air bags and the openings were correct. I did not get the rear covers. They are really great and it took about 30 minutes for the first seat and about 20 for the other.

They give great service and if it is a mistake they will take care of it.

Just installed the front seat covers and couldn't be happier with them. They even sent a center armrest over I wasn't expecting. The N-6 beige was a perfect match. But I need HELP!!! I can't figure out how to remove the back saet to install the rear set.

Hondavalk,
It took me awhile to figure it out, but it is actually simple. The seat is held in place by two clips, located under the middle of the left and right seat. Grasp the seat bottom front edge firmly and pull straight up. I also found that I had to unbolt the rear shoulder seat belts to put the seat back covers on. Bolts are under the seat as well.

Now help me. How and where do you put those little parts on that I got and I think you identified as the front center armrest cover. I got 2 oddly shaped pieces each with 2 small pieces of hard plastic sewn in.

JCHU
I don't know what those 2 pieces are yet. I was hoping when I put on the rear covers I would be able to figure it out then. The center arm rest cover was one piece with an elastic strap across the middle and was shaped like the arm rest.

didn't get one of those arm rest covers!!! Can't tell what isn't covered except maybe the edges where the battery vent is.

I was wondering about those side pieces with the plastic too. I haven't tried installing yet. I just sent back the duplicate left front back cover for the correct one. I was wondering about the rear bench as well. That's going to be an interesting install.
