Iggee Black / Charcoal Seat Covers
RedRockJK, can you elaborate on how you were able to tighten up your covers? The replacement covers I put on in the past used hogrings and velcro to attach to the padding but these slip on over the original covers. I am mostly interested on how you pulled the middle tight on the front of the seat backs.
The covers have elastic bands underneath the seat and come with some "S" hooks that you use to connect from the elastic band to the metal under the seat. You basically put one of the S hooks into the elastic band, stretch the band in the direction you want to pull it tight, then hook it in somewhere under the seat. There are plenty of areas to hook to, and if you remove the front seats and flip them over, it makes it really easy to install and get them looking nice and tight.
Where is the best place to get these from and the best deal?? What do these covers feel like? trying to pick between these and wet okole
thanks
thanks

search web for iggee, they have website with number....easiest to just call and order cuz their website doesnt have new covers on it yet i dont think
i just got mine used, and they look awesome, even my friends who ride in it thought i got the seats re-covered with leather...i def approve. i dont like the neoprene look/feeling i guess.
I had the wet okoles in my 05 Rubicon and now have the iggees in my 08. I like the iggee covers much better. Wipe them clean with leather cleaner and your good to go. The neoprene on the wet okoles discolored after a while. I'm not sure about the iggee covers since I havnt gone through a summer with them yet, but the wet okoles give swamp ass really bad.

Just to throw another opinion out there for this topic, I had Iggee covers for my '05 Unlimited Rubicon and loved them. They definitely do get hotter with the top down and 100 degree Oklahoma summers than neoprene covers would, however the trade offs were too large to ignore for me.
If you have dogs Iggee covers are definitely a big plus, neoprene covers will collect dog hair if they are shedding as well as hold in odors. The Iggee covers will not hold in any odor and obviously will not collect hair. As others have said, the Iggee covers are also much easier to clean.
As far as fit, they do fit well, not as well as neoprene in my opinion, but as someone else stated, the longer you have them, especially if someone sits in the seat most of the time they begin to fit even better. I did not have someone sitting in the passenger seat a lot of the time, so I still had the air pocket at about the middle of the seat for a while, but the driver's seat fit great after about a week to month.
Iggees will also not rip half as easily as neoprene. So, durability also goes to Iggee in my opinion. Mine were black and never did fade through 2 summers with the sunrider top open 75% of the time.
So, if you can handle them being very much like leather, and getting a bit hot on summer days, these are an excellent product. Swampass is minimal, but still like real leather, your back may get a little sweaty. I highly reccommend these covers.
On a seperate note, I will be ordering either a JK Unlimited Rubicon or JK Unlimited Sahara hopefully later in the summer....we shall see, I miss my Jeep, I sold it and got a Tahoe and being practical was never my thing, so I definitely need the Jeep back now that they make a 4 door!!
