The airbag seam on my car seat/ dash blew out. Can you re-sew that?
Justin Hahn
No. And you shouldn’t have another upholstery shop sew it either unless they have the proper equipment/ testing.
Airbag seams are made with a certain thread that is sewn in with a specific tension on a special machine so that it will blow apart when your airbag deploys. Improperly sewing that seam can result in the airbag not properly deploying and could injure you or your passengers in the event of an accident.
If you have a seat that has had an airbag deploy, you should replace that cover with an OEM cover or with a cover that is properly rated to blow out in the event of an airbag deployment.
