Alcantara Airbag Cover

Shrike360 · 10-20-2022, 07:45 PM

Local dealer has a car for sale, with quite a few interior mods. The alcantara airbag cover is new to me. Anyone know a seller? I see Bavgruppe has something similar, but doesn't call it out for E9x.

I would be concerned about proper airbag deployment with these covers, though. Unless it just pops off...

I prob would not ever put this on a car that I drive, the airbag is designed to tear through the cover and is packed with a predefined amount of charge to deploy at a specified speed. if you put something over the airbag you change the specification in which the airbag was designed to operate.

Yeah, I wouldn't trust most of these covers. Someone could do it right if they adjusted the material to break free at certain spots. But I doubt any of these companies do that.
