When I do inside door work I flip the airbag 180° and use one of the original screws to hold it out of the way (it sticks out past the back of the door but clear all the inside access holes). The seat has both the butt sensor and the belt tensioner in the SRS system.

I had to swap my seat bottom because the recliner gear stripped (with the seat full forward that was fun). Then I spilled brake fluid on it praise Jesus that I didn't already put in the new seat bottom!
