5th Gen Wet Okole Discussion & Picture Thread

I've had mine for over a year now.

They shipped me some headrest covers that were ripped from the get go. Got those replaced from the outset.

Mine started to rip at the seam about 8 months in. Driver's side. I do a lot of start and stops/get into and out of the truck frequently... I think they have a policy where you can send them back to get restitched for a small fee... Haven't had time to undo. Plus I'm on the East Coast of the US and they are in Hawaii. Just slapped duct tape on it. Looks ghetto but slowing the rip.

They were a pain in the ass to get in... Looking back I think the easiest way would be to remove the buckles, thread straps, put buckles back on..

I got mine with the seat heater option. One switched died 3 months in or so. Not very well made. It is supposed to be hi, low or off but in real life it's actually more like blazing hot, a little less than blazing hot and off....

Wet Okole back seats for sale

Would anybody be interested in buying some back seat Wet Okole seat covers? They are the darker gray color with silver pipping. PM me if interested.

Anyone have more pics of straight black covers?

I am resurrecting the dead on this thread but curious

Are these still a solid option for our seats?
I don’t care much about the front seats but I need a good seat cover for the second row for both dog and son

Something durable and not too difficult to remove and wash
Are these easily machine washable and hang dry?

Thanks!

You can order the "piping" model and it comes in full solid color, you can get piping to match if I remember correctly.

As for easy to remove and wash... well easy is a relative term, I personally don't think they are hard to remove but it is a bit of a pain in the butt if you want to keep tucking the seat cover back in and under the plastic trim around the sides and front of the seat. I just spot wash, rinse, and wet-vac them.

I have had mine over 4 years and it is just about time to replace the fronts. The color has held up well (I have black and grey centers) Driver side bolster is worn through.

thanks!
they look to be good quality and I think I will order just the rear seat.

finally got mine , light grey with half piping and old school 4runner logo kinda a pain to get them all snug but turned out well i think

How’d you do the front? I ended up just going underneath the rails cause I couldn’t get all the fabric and line through the seat.

So I actually sent mine in for "repair" finally but they ended up just needing to replace the entire bottoms so it's like essentially buying new bottoms... I've noted / complained about durability before so it is what it is... I kind of think of it as leasing seat covers... It does get easier to put in and out but still PITA IMO

For me I successfully did it by taking off the buckles and just threading the straps... Then re attaching the buckles. However this last time even with that trick I couldn't do the driver's side near the power controls so i just tucked it in and stopped cursing...

I never did end up buying these seat covers.
I ended up buying some Clazzio's and I couldn't be happier.
They have been on for 8+ months....
dog throw up.. mud... beer spilled everywhere (dont judge.. you dont know why!!)
