Quick update: Shortly after this thread started, an interior design engineer for Tesla Motors reached out to us wanting to explain airbag seams to The Hog Ring community, as there are clearly a lot of questions and misconceptions floating around the industry. Of course, we jumped on the opportunity.
Thanks Nadeem, I have never worked on airbag seats because I didn't think it was a good idea, but now I can explain to customers the reason why. I have had a couple customers that were somewhat unhappy because I wouldn't work on them, but with this information, they should thank us for not.
