Anyone done a swap from the cloth seats to the leather ss seats?? i did this last weekend and the passenger seat doesnt have a sensor for the airbag so the airbag doesnt turn on and the service airbag light stays on. Anyone know if there is a way to keep the airbag on maybe wiring it up differently or something??

 

swap your airbag sensor from the cloth seat to the leather seat.

 

^ this. it's fairly simple to do. I had to do it when i got my ss seats... or i suppose you could ground the wire and the airbag will always be on but it's not too hard to take the sensor out of the old seat and put it in the new one..

 

Just swap the sensor. It only took me half an hour

 

Or you can just swap the seat skins. Thats what I did two weeks ago. Took about an hour to do both seats. I went from grey leather to the back and red ss seats. I swapped the skins to keep the heated seats and the air bag sensors. Pretty easy job actually. I also took off the plastic piece for the seat belt you guys have for the coupe as well.

 

well i already swapped the seats and the guy i swapped with lives 3 hours away cant just drive there again since im in college, i may ground the wire then that seems like a good idea....

 

Should have bought the seats outright or taken off the sensor. Every year is different so if he didnt have the same year cobalt your sensors are useless to him. Any chance he would send you the sensors?

 

he said they are attached to the seats i asked for him to send them. i swapped straight up didnt pay anything for them no way i can afford to buy them straight up

 

so can any of you give a step by step on how to take the sensor off the seat. guy i got em from said he could do it for me but doesnt know how....

 

pop off the springs holding on the wire thing (youll see what im talking about), remove it, pull out the sensor and the wiring (once again youll see what i mean) and then repeat when putting it into the other seat.

that was very vague but should be enough to get you through it

 

Mine was nothing like that lol. Everything was on with little plastic rivets and the wiring was crazy under the 08 2lt seat frame. Compared to nothing at all under the 05 ss frame. The tabs and mounts arent even there. lol

Switching covers is easy.

 

i didnt swap covers, i swapped the sensor. left everything else the same

 

ill be coming to you when i have to put it on lol the guy i traded with is gonna ship it to me

 

the drive shouldnt be too bad for ya

 

cant make the drive for the rest of the year course load here at college is gettin bad plus i got better things to do than drive 6 hours total again get what i mean lol

 

there was a slight hint of sarcasm there
