What happens if the air bags deploy, but are hindered by the seat covers?

Re: Damage to vehicles because of your gun
Getting in and out of my truck with my Sig is zero problems but a whole different matter with the wife’s Ford Fusion sedan. My extra magazine on the left side always hangs up on the seat bolster. My solution is to not drive the Fusion unless absolutely necessary.

I noticed that the driver’s seatbelt buckle (the part you clip into) on my old truck was scratched up quite a bit from my carry guns. Oh well.

Some makers address that specifically... this from Wet Okole's site, on seats with air bags:Grundy1133 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 08, 2019 6:09 pmi didnt think of that...surprise_i'm_armed wrote: ↑Mon Jan 07, 2019 9:14 pm Here's something to consider/discuss: Won't seat covers interfere with the deployment of the airbags located in the sides of the driver and front passenger seats?

Each seat cover's front and sides are impact air bag compatible and have been tested at an airbag lab for compliance.
