Reupholstery after airbag deployment

[Rob Clark]

Does anyone know costs involved etc for getting a half suede / leather oem sport seat repaired after the airbag has been deployed ?
Obvs needs new airbag + stitching but imagine it cheaper to buy a replacement seat 2nd hand.
Also that 'new' replacement from dealer will be silly expensive (~£500?)

even if you got a replacement seat think you also need to get your airbag computer reset which will cost you about £60

I thought they shouldn't be repaired because when the airbag goes off something in the seat gets damaged? Or am I being stupid..

They tend to bend the frame slightly went they go off, i've never bother with repairing one personally. Just get a new one.
