After reading the other detailed posting on the seat covers, I opt'd for Coverking. No reason in particular as on the web Wet Okole and Coverking are the same in cost.
I received the covers the other day and wanted to report.
Overall construction is good. I found no open stitches or runs etc. They are using a very thin Neoprine, thinner than wetsuit material, or at least the wetsuits I have owned. They do back the covers with a nice foam material that will add cushion. However I did run into a issue.
I only ordered the fronts. I have a 06 sport.
They seem to not be aware of how the Toyota Front Seat covers mount. If you look at the back of a Toyota front seat, there is a material flap at the bottom which is run underneath the seat bottom and attaches to some plastic clips about 1/3 of the way under the seat.
Coverking seems to not be aware of these as the way they want you to attach their cover, they don't account for this material being in the way. If you leave it alone, then you can't fully mount the part of the seat cover that covers the back rest part of the seat as you can't make the two pieces touch to use the velco to hold them together.
I ended up taking the Toyota flap, releasing it and pushing upwards behind the rest of the Toyota seat cover. It is out of the way now and you can make the Coverking parts touch. Coverking's backrest cover also has a similar flap of material and I guess you are supposed to run it under the seat as it also has hooks to attach.
One other note, by this design, you have to put the seat bottom's on first, which is exactly opposite how they show you in the directions. If the backrest (upper part of seat) is already in place, you can't get the attachment parts from the bottom to touch as the material from the backrest is in the way.
I am not really pleased with this, and will call them on Monday to ask what is supposed to be done.
