3rd Gen Wet Okole Seat covers
« on: April 19, 2010, 05:30:07 pm »
Purchased Seat covers direct from Wet Okole
Ordering Note ** If you order a vivid or unusual color even if you select no swatch ... they will send you a swatch and they will wait to process your order until you call and confirm.  You will also get a call concerning your order as the on-line order form does not have all the required information to properly cut our seats. **

Order was processed quickly and deliver was as expected.
Instructions are VERY generic.  They are not make / model specific.  Mine did not even include any information on the center console cover. 

Because of other projects going on within the truck at the same time we removed the seats from the truck.

Front of each seat is 2 bolts:


Rear of each seat is 2 bolts to the floor:
Center console is bolted to both Drivers and Passengers seat:


Drivers Seat (and Passengers if equipped with power seats) motor connector:


Center Console power supply piggy-backs from drivers seat:



Most of the covers are secured with velco. There are two buckles on the bottom of each seat.

Headrest-
Simply slides over existing cover and closes across bottom:


Seat bottom-
Remove back angle lever and power seat cover with screw driver:


Cover slides over and secures at rear with two vertical velcor pieces:


Two buckles secure bottom: (yes Donny the loose ends were zip-tied and clipped)


My seats have the skirt piece along the bottom edge.  There is a pocket on each cover to slip this flap into:


Seat back-
If equipped remove Lumbar Support knob by GENTLY prying off handle:


Remove two screws to remove cover plate:


The back piece is a single pieced sleeve that slides over:


The cover is tucked under the head rest supports:


Velcro at bottom of seat back secures entire piece.

Center Console-
There were no specific instructions included for this piece.  I am not 100% certain about this cover and it very well may be removed in the near future.

The center console cover contains 3 separate pieces.

Top Lid / Arm Rest:
A single piece with a elastic strap is slipped over the top of the console. The front button is slightly covered by this. Because of the piano hinge on the back the back side of the cover is just tucked and not very security attached:


Bottom of cargo area / Seat Back:
Elastic strap stitched into cover slide over the front.  4 velcro straps along the back secure across the piano hinge and side supports:


Seat Bottom:
The seat bottom cover slips over the seat bottom.  There is a whole cut for the latch assembly; but my latch was larger.  I removed the two screws and re-attached over the cover to insure proper closing.  The flap across the back is slipped through the back and attached to the sides with two velcro staps on each side:

If I'd had to completely remove the stock covers a knife would have come out.  Those J clips are a complete :censored: !

Update on this...

Like I said in the first post I wasn't very happy with the center console cover. After running it for a few weeks and getting tired of having to fight with the cover to get the lid to open / close I removed the top cover.

The pleather still matches the color of the covers. One of the reasons I went with the gray instead of a complete color change in fact.

Now the lid closes and opens fine. Because I punched the lower section's latch through the cover it opens / closes fine. I think I am 98% happy with it now.
