Cobalt LS to SS seat swap
Anyone done a swap from the cloth seats to the leather ss seats?? i did this last weekend and the passenger seat doesnt have a sensor for the airbag so the airbag doesnt turn on and the service airbag light stays on. Anyone know if there is a way to keep the airbag on maybe wiring it up differently or something??

Or you can just swap the seat skins. Thats what I did two weeks ago. Took about an hour to do both seats. I went from grey leather to the back and red ss seats. I swapped the skins to keep the heated seats and the air bag sensors. Pretty easy job actually. I also took off the plastic piece for the seat belt you guys have for the coupe as well.

Should have bought the seats outright or taken off the sensor. Every year is different so if he didnt have the same year cobalt your sensors are useless to him. Any chance he would send you the sensors?

pop off the springs holding on the wire thing (youll see what im talking about), remove it, pull out the sensor and the wiring (once again youll see what i mean) and then repeat when putting it into the other seat.
that was very vague but should be enough to get you through it
