Hey everyone, love the forum. My dad just brought home his new MO and asked me to look for some seat covers. Anyone have them and where can i get some? We checked @ the city w/ no luck and i only find "custom sheepskin" ones online. Thanx 
Seat covers?

One day on a whim I brought home some dark grey sheep skin covers for my black cloth seats.....
The first thing was the head rests, the second was the backing of the sheepskin worried me about abrasion to the seat cloth. The third thing was it would cover the seat controls--I neva thought about the air bags--that would make it 4 things against them. I took them back the same day.

For the MO I think you would have to go for custom seat covers. I looked into these a bit since I was considering going for the touring package, but I can't stand leather. I found a couple places online that made custom seat covers for the MO that SUPPOSEDLY didn't interfere with airbags or controls, but they were quite spendy (like $800 per seat).
Can't remember where I found them, but it should be relatively easy to google...

I bought some custom seat cover from AutoCraft I think (something like than) we have them in our Sienna van also.
They have openings on the side for the side air bags.
Don't use them, on leather they slide too much. I keep them around for camping and vacation trips in case my dogs get up in front.
They were less then $200.

Seatcovers, read the owners manual
Hi all
Who ever stated that a seatcover could potentially interfere with the aire bags is correct. When the owners manual says don't put a seat cover on the seat, they say it for a reason. If any of you have seen the seatcovers Nissan sells for the Titan you will notice how they've been tailored to avoid interference with the side airbags. Nissan does not currently make such seatcovers for the Murano.

Dmako, I'm glad you like your covers. Denim would not be an acceptable fabric from a styling / durability standpoint for a cover actually made by Nissan. The seatcovers from Nissan go through hundreds of hours of material testing and are tailored directly to that vehicle and are backed by the Nissan warrenty. If enough people yell loud enough, Nissan would probably make some for the Murano. The current direction is that "it doesn't fit the vehicle image".

Well, your covers don't appear ideal, but for occasional use (in my case, hauling my greasy racing friends, rather than dogs) they might be OK. How easily/quickly do the covers come off and on?
Anyone try the Wet Okle's yet? I wonder how much one slides around on them?

They go on fairly easy if you want a temp install. They are one piece and you can simply slip them on. If you take the time you can attach small hooks under seat for a tight fit.
I didn't go with the Okle's for the following reasons:
Air proof, won't let the leather breath.
Neopreen (spelling?) holds odors.
Also being very tall, I didn't want to lose 'any' leg room and those Okle's are thick.

Thanks for the input.
Hmmm, yours seem like good temporaries/occasionals.
Otoh, I'm short and narrow, and the Murano seats are really just 10% too big for me. If the covers on the Neoprene's effectively thickend the side bolsters (narrowed the seating area) I'd be better off. I'm used to an old Porsche mostly, and these Murano seats, though newer/nicer, just don't hold me in well during cornering. Maybe that's a message reminding me is a pseudo SUV, and not a sports car
Thanks again
