Seat Covers - Wet Okole vs Cover King

[tedcool]

Hi All,

I just checked out the Cover King Neoprene seat covers at CostCo, and they look a lot like Wet Okole's, at a much better price ( only if you go through CostCo).

Have any of you seen both of them? Do you have any gripes about any of them?

I've got two little kids, so one of these will definitely be getting installed.

Thanks!

I have the CoverKing (waterproof/neoprene) in my front seats for a year now. I have personally seen the Wet Okole version when I was in Hawaii. The quality (in production and materials) is the same. My only gripe about the CoverKing is that they don't make seat covers for the second row seats (if your Runner comes with the third row seats). If you don't have the 3rd row, then you can order cover for your back seats thru Cover King. With my 4 year old (kid) about to come off his car seat, I am thinking about getting the Wet Okole version for the 2nd row.
Also, try this site Hawaiian Seat Covers . They are also based in Hawaii and just as good as the other two.

I just visited CoverKing website and they now have the seat cover for the middle row seat. They are $100 less than the Wet Okole!

I'm going to order some neoprene seat covers soon. I already have Wet Okole seat covers on my p/u so I know the quality and options I have with them. My question is, with coverking, can you still get the custom graphics on the covers? What is the link to Coverking?

Thanks for the heads-up re: the thread.

I went to the Costco site earlier and ordered the front two seat's of Coverking's seat covers.

If these look good, I might order the rear two seats.

Costco's got a great customer satisfaction policy and ordering through them literally takes any sweat away from any deal.

I personally would prefer the wet okole because they seem to have a little more cushion in them. I had them on my altima and they lasted quite a while. When i got my 4runner, i just picked the ones up at costco.

due to my financial situations, i'll just go with the ones from costco. you probably won't feel that much difference.

I see you own a 3rd generation like mine. Do you special order ones that fit your specific make, or does one size fit all? Can you tell me about what you paid for the seats.

I have been kicking around the idea of getting some nice seat covers as I feel the stock seats are not that great. Also, if you really feel nice, a picture would be great.

If you are having some problems getting comfortable in your driver's seat do you think these covers would be helpful. My back bothers me about half the time in these 4runner seats. Would these covers offer more padding?

My recent invoice inc. two covers, shipping and tax was $188.16 delivered.

Post up when you get them installed. I'd love to see the quality of the CoverKings.

TIA :bigok:

I second that.

Does Costco have a sample out to look at?

More foam needed

I also find it difficult to be comfortable in the stock seats (Sport Edition - Cloth) for very long. The drivers seat seems better than the passenger side - raising it up helps.

I plan to add some 2- 3 inch thick foam sheets under the seat covers down in the valley between the side bolsters to try and flatten the seats out and make them softer, and a little bit higher. I really hope this helps!

Costco/Coverking update:

I placed the order on the 11th, they shipped today the 18th, due in Denver on the 22nd.

That's pretty good!

Post up some pics after the install. :biggrin2:

I went to Costco and it wasn't there. I asked for the seat covers and they said check on-line. I went on-line and went through the steps and it would not go past what type of 4Runner do you have, it would not go to color selection. Any help would be appreciated.

The process is online only and not at Costco.

I went through the step by step procedure for the 2007 Sport with side airbags and electronic seat controls and the computer took my order.

I'm sure I'll receive what I ordered. If not, I'll bring it back to Costco and receive an immediate refund.

If it gets to this point, I'll order from Okole. But I'm not jumping the gun. :

Online ordering problem

If you are using Firefox and not IE, you will sometimes have problems with sites like this. Use IE, or install the IE tab add in to Firefox. Good Luck!
