Wet Okole Vs Mopar Seat Covers

[Atrus]

So, I had some snow fall on my passenger seat this week, and now it's got HUGE water stains. I know they'll fade with time, but they look gross and I am not happy about it.

I know Wet Okoles look great and function great, but I really don't want to drop that much cash.

The Mopar ones are within the range I'd feel OK spending. I have heard, however, that they don't cover the back of the seats all the way. I want whatever I get to look as OEM as possible.

Does anyone have experience or better yet, pics? I have the single piece highback sport seats.

A good detailer should be able to take those stains out for a considerable amount cheaper than you would ever pay for seat covers.

I fully agree. My problem is I don't want to deal with this crap every time the seat gets wet. The passenger seat is pristine - I have 13k on my '07, and 99% of the time it's only me in there.

My Mopar seat cover(the wet suit type) cover the whole back of the seats.

TJKJ, any chance I could recruit you to take some good pics of how the fit and whatnot? I can't seem to find any online that really show how it looks. Do you like them? Good fitment?

Like I said, I'd like them to look like covers as little as possible. I have a buddy who works for Chrysler, so I could get them for like $225 or $250 or so out the door.

No problem,I'll take some in a bit and post them a little later.

Ive got wet okoles for the front seats but cant find the pics right now.

Ill see if I can find them alittle later on.

Edit: Your Jeep is sweet tjkj. I bet you have one of the best paint jobs around.. Love how you can see the orange on the inside. Like those painted trim pieces too.

Needs a good detail though.

Got Pioneer Speakers I see. Or so it seems.

I kinda let the inside go a little in the winter,gets dirty every time I get in,I clean it not just to insanely till summer and all the snow is gone.Gotta take those covers off and wash them in the washer,I have a habit of driving all the time with my windows down(I'm a smoker) and the black attracts dust like crazy.

Those trim pieces aren't painted,they are stick on pieces,got them from streetbeatcustoms.com,they have many colors to choose from.

Blake, You had a few posted in a thread I had made about the Wet Okoles, and if price was no object, I think I'd get the same you did - black with grey inserts. I am **** though, and I want the front and back seat to match, so I am looking at $550 for those!

TJKJ, darn, websense must be blocking the pics here. I'll check them out when I get home in a couple of hours. Thanks for posting them. I am anxious to see these trim pieces too!

Atrus......wow, that is a lot of money for seat covers. I'm not saying they are not good, but just a lot of money. For instance, you could get a powertrax locker, a good set of tires, etc, etc. Good rock rails are less.

Anyway, I am **** about keeping the inside of my jeep real clean. For instance, the outside can drip with mud in the spring, for a couple of weeks and it does not bother me so much. But when I open the door it has to be real clean inside. I do my own oil changes, etc so I bought a couple of generec seat covers and use them only when doing an oil change etc so I don't stain the seat. When I took the KJ to the dealer for the ball joint recall, I put the seat cover on the drivers seat. I guess that makes me ****. You could pick something up and just put it on when it's pouring out or something maby. Meantime keep looking and you will eventually come across a set from someone that sold their jeep or something for a lot less than $550. Just a thought.

Just by looking at the pics of tjkj's Jeep those covers look just as good as the okole's. They may not fit as tight or be as thick but they will get the job done and look good while doing it.

I believe the wet-okle covers are made by hawaiian hands so that jacks the price up. You can also call or get online and order swatches to match up the color. Really nice company.

Dave, I agree - it's just too much for me. I will admit, I love the look of the two tone - black with grey. Just matches the interior so well!

Blake - I ordered a black, green, and grey swatch back in Dec.

I'm really not concerned with thickness or anything, I just want it to fit and wear well. I won't be able to stand it if it's all baggy. The Mopar ones seem to look good.

Oh they are a tight fit,trust me.The headreast are a real tight fit,I'm rather good a doing interior work and it took me over a hour for each headrest cover.
