    I bought a set of front seat Coverking neoprene covers from Auto Anything in April and already some of the stitching is starting to pull away on the seats section and around the headrest. I only weigh 160 pounds and I pretty much baby it, so I don't think I am abusing them. While it isn't terrible now, it worries me what they will look like in a year or so as they pull more -- has anyone else run into this problem with Coverking. I bounced between Coverking and Wet Oakles and might have messed up on this one :(

    I'm not happy with my Oakles at all.

    That sucks to hear. People were saying the full neoprene Coverkings were comparable to WetOkole. I guess it's Wet Okoles for me.

    They have a one year warranty. Take some pictures, send it to coverking and see if they will send you a replacement.

    I like my CoverKings. I will examine the stutching, however. I did have a quality issue in that one of the back row covers was assembled wrong. It took a bit of patience to get resolved as it had to work through CarID.com where I ordered, but the replacement is supposed to be here today. It seemed to me that the company takes quality issues seriously and really tries to understand them.

    Just out of curiosity, you did get the neoprene and not the "neosupreme", right? I ask because your covers look a little different from mine (Coverking full neoprenes purchased through Costco).

    Ouch. I would definitely give CoverKing a call and send them photos.

    Gotcha. I too would definitely go to Coverking about that. I've had mine for about a year and a half with no issues.

    An update as I got my seat covers back from Cover King this past weekend. FWIW, from the time I sent them back to the time I got them back was about 2 weeks. It cost me $22 to ship and they paid for return shipping. They look much better, but there are still a couple of sections that don't look tight, so I guess time will tell. Was worth the $22 tough. The communication with Coverking through the process was excellent using the live chat. I very much doubt I would have gotten this good as service if I had sent back to AutoAnything or as quick as turn-around. Will my next set of seatcover be Coverking or Wet Oaklies? Don't know, but guessing I would lean to Wet Oaklies if the price is the same, even though I have read where some people aren't totally happy with them either. But if these hold up properly, they they were a good buy.
