Will post some pics tommorow of the lining and foam padding, you'll see what kind of detail goes into making them.

I had a set of these in my old truck, they really looked nice & the workmanship was flawless on them.

They were not on long enough to let you know if there is dye transfer or wear to the stock seats (although on that truck i would not have cared, i bought them to cover the thing up 'cuz it was horrid anyhow.)

The reason they were not on long is my black lab loved them. I mean REALLY loved them. She just plain would NOT stop eating them. She is a great dog and never chews anything, not shoes, not furniture, not the kids toys, nothing. For some reason to her these things were like Ultra-Tender, perfectly marinated, served on the belly of a cheerleader, filet mignon. :confused:
Even after she destroyed them and I removed them and threw them out, she went into the garbage can, tore the bag open and hauled them out (She never before touched the garbage can, and hasen't since) I dont get it, something about them/in them/materials/odor... whatever....
The covers themselves were awesome, but I won't buy another set because of that.

Sounds like I'm gonna have a lot of dogs tripping
my EVS-1 perimeter alarm. I might have to sprinkle
some red pepper down as a countercanine measure.

I just got mine in and installed today...these are the best seat covers I have ever had...they fit like a glove and add a lot of extra comfort to the seat!

I can't imagine them having any ruboff or dye transfer because the reverse side is white padding...I'll let you know in a year though...

Default Waterproof?

They say they are water proof. If they get rained on could they be wiped off and sat on without getting wet? I anticipate getting caught with my top down often.

I haven't rain tested them yet...but, water beads up and I just wiped it off...but, I'm not sure how much the water would bead up after a huge downpour...

Go to Mardis-Gras often :confused:



Actually, the ones i had in my truck had coffee dumped on them once. They didnt stain & to my knowledge it didnt soak through, it just puddled up and i threw some napkins on it to soak it up. Granted it didnt sit there overnight, but it was there for several minutes before i could clean it up... ...but it did clean up without a trace.

I am convinced! I just got off the phone with Wet Okole. Ordered the Black/Lt Grey combo! They look great! Is there enough room to insert a square piece of 1.5" thick foam in the headrest to make it non-rock-hard?
