Only from experience, I didn’t when I swapped my first set of m-sports and light came up. To be fair, there were a myriad of other issues with the seats!
Just swapped my steering wheel over and was so careful, disconnected battery for 10 minutes before swapping, but still got the dreaded airbag light on the dash now…
I'm planning to do something similar this winter , but will restore the seats whilst they are out. Did you hire a wet n dry vacuum and if so, can any type be used?
