Need some help, Seat Covers

[Gary L]

2008 Rav 4 and I found the original fabric seat covers from a place that installs leather.

I want to remove my dirty original covers and install these new ones but need some advice regarding the side air bags in the front seats.

I imagine I will have to remove each bucket from the vehicle to make the switch and do not want to deploy these bags or damage them in any way.

Hope to hear from an experienced auto trim guy with any tips to make my job go smooth.

Thanks

Gary
