Many people buy a car and often think about adding seat covers to the seats. There are also many reasons for adding seat covers to leather seats. For example, it is to change the interior decoration of the car and choose a personalized seat cover; some people also consider that if the car is used for a long time, it will inevitably be stained. Cleaning the seat is not only The cost is too high and if it is not cleaned properly, it may damage the leather, so it is more practical and convenient to add a seat cover. Of course, some people pointed out that it would be very dangerous if you add a seat cover to the seat.
So, should a car with leather seats add a seat cover?
Many people think that adding a seat cover to the seat is equivalent to adding a cover to the remote control or sticking a film to the mobile phone. It is nothing wrong with reducing wear and tear and extending the usage rate. In fact, the design of car seats is one of the factors that need to be considered for car safety. In addition to considering the comfort of the seat, the structure and design of the seat should meet the basic safety standards, so that the safety of the passengers can be guaranteed.
Many cars now have side airbags installed on their seats. In this case, the addition of seat covers requires careful consideration. If the seat cover is wrapped, it will affect the deployment of the side airbag. As we all know, the airbag is detonated by gunpowder. If the energy of the airbag is not released, it will cause great harm.
Generally speaking, if the label of SRS or AIRBAG is marked on the seat of the car, it means that the car is equipped with side airbags, so it is best not to install seat covers. Although there are many seat cover vendors claiming that the product has airbag blasting ports, I still think that it is safer not to install the seat cover.
Automobiles have certain regulations on the friction coefficient of seats. The American Highway Safety Insurance Association and the China New Car Evaluation Regulations will evaluate and test the friction coefficient of car seats and headrests, and include this evaluation as one of the safety scores.
If you encounter a collision or rear-end collision, you can ensure that the occupants will not slide down due to the impact, which can reduce whiplash injuries and protect the cervical spine. Many of the seat covers sold on the market are of uneven quality, and most of them have not been tested for friction coefficient.
So if you blindly choose to add seat covers to leather seats, the consequences will be disastrous. Moreover, the quality of some seat covers cannot be guaranteed at all, and some pollution exceeding the standard is very serious, which will aggravate the environmental pollution in the car and cause direct harm to the human body.
So I don’t think you should add seat covers to leather seats. After all, leather seats are very high-end, have a uniform interior style, and are very resistant to dirt and easy to clean.
