I have two questions, does my '04 XS Forester have side air bags, if so, where are they stored? I'd like to put on sheepskin seat covers but someone told me the side air bags are in the seat! I don't have a service manual to see where the bags might be and I don't want to pay Subaru 20 bucks to look at the manual. Can anyone educate me?

Thanks!

Yes your 04 Forester has side airbags, I believe this became standard on all Foresters with the 03 MY. And yes, the side airbags are in the seats, you can look at the seats and find the SRS tag.

Many thanks! I found the tags and now I finally know where they are.
