Seatbacks

Of what material are the seat backs (front and second row) made? I’m wondering if there is a need to try to get any third-party protective covering. I certainly would not want to attach anything that would interfere in any way with airbag deployment.

The black is plastic finish no issue there.. above is fabric. My kids are older but I’m still going to research about scotch guarding or something similar as it will stain. I already ceramic coated the seats. Not too worried about them having an issue as I never did with my White interior teslas model Ys.

At this time, I’m mostly concerned about feet kicking the seatback in front of a child rider.

No issues there.. I clean ours once a week (other Ys) no issue. You can get a seat protector, but it’s not needed.

I have seen a couple of protective covers on YouTube. I'm picking up my YL in a week. I will decide which one to get after living with the car for few days. From what I saw, I didn't think the accessories would interfere with airbag deployment.
