Cabelas Seat Covers

Have any of you installed the Cabelas "Trail Gear" seat covers? I'm thinking about buying them but I'd like to know if anyone else has them and how well they work/fit/look.

The covers can be viewed at this web page:

Cabela's TrailGear™ Seat Covers

Thanks!!

Cabelas is great to deal with. If you don't like it, send it back for a full refund, less shipping.

Re: Cabelas Seat Covers

I see that there is a note on the Cabelas page. Not for use on seats with airbags.

Re: Cabelas Seat Covers

Thanks for pointing out that these covers are not air bag compatible. They will not work with our FJ's. Thanks for saving me the hassel of buying them and having to return them!

Re: Cabelas Seat Covers

Yeap, not gonna work with side air bags. The seats lace up on the sides of the seat.
The GEAR seats that are made for jeeps might work. They have a molle storage looking set up on the back of the seat. The sides velcro to hold the cover on and it looks like you could just not velcro the part that comes over the airbag portion.

Re: Cabelas Seat Covers

Considering that the Cabelas trail gear seat covers are out because of the side airbags, does anyone know of any other brands other then the Wet Okle covers that are airbag friendly? I have a dog so I don't think the neoprene would last too long.
