Can you have seat covers when you have side airbags?
I own a 2000 Volkswagen Beetle. It is equipped with side air bags which are within the front bucket seats. (At least I assume this because there is a symbol that says "Air Bag" on the side of the seats)
Is there any seat covers out there that you can have when you have side air bags? I understand that typical seat covers would block the air bag… but I wonder if there are ones available that would not.

If you press Airbag 2 you can witness actual Side Air Bag Deployment out of a Wet Okole Hawaii Seat Cover. Wet Okole Test their Seat Covers for Air Bag deployment.
There is no Seat cover specifically designed that way. What you are looking for is a wide open area at the airbag for it to pop out during accidents. Which you can custom cut it urself. Which i highly doubt it would look nice.
On the contrary, you can consider the seat pads that just lay on top of the seat. I mean, dont get one that completely wrap around the whole seat.
Here is some examples you can look into.

Something looks like that in the picture.
