OFFICIAL: Wet Okole Group Buy - Signup Through 10/3/10!

That slot is used to have child seat access. If you needed to put the belt through a slot, it would have been through one on the actual seat...

 

Thanks for straightening me out on that, I suppose I didn't consider that. Is there an easy way to keep the female seat belt ends in place while folding and unfolding the back seats? They stayed in place pretty well in those little pockets on the back panels of the original seat upholstery.

 

Hell no, I kept mine there all the time! One thing I will miss, but all the positives out weigh the negatives!

 

W00t got the Wet Okole's!











Now my interior is weather resistant I just need to do the arm rest mod and relocate the Cobra 75 connection from the center console to the last remaining open switch spot in the center of the dash below the A/C controls (next to A-TRAC and AUX).

 

That is the actual emblen i wanted!!!! David said they had trouble with the small letters so they didnt make it anymore, lying a$$hole!!

 

How did you get that console cover to look like that? I tried my hardest but it's honestly a POS. Please let us (me) know!

 

X2, mine is covering the damn button to get into the console and looks ugly as hell...if it wasnt a comfortable spot to rest my arm, the cover would have went right away

 

The original post with the price has been edited, how much did you put out for the Wet Okule? Just interested in for perhaps a future group buy...

 

Ordered Oct. 4th and received the covers today! Didn't get any emails or tracking numbers, just waited patiently. Another $68 in taxes =( but apparently if you buy goods from the USA (im in canada) you can get the duties back if you mail in a claim.

$589.72 for front and back, heated with map pockets and shipping to canada
+
$68.06 for duties

$657.78 Canadian

THANKS JEFF BECK!

 

Installed my wet okole's on Saturday. Took 2 hours to complete.

Best advice i can give if you don't want to take out the seats and you're having problems with the change catcher is get a small mirror and put it on the floor. let that be your guide.

Hopefully the seats will settle in nicely.

 

Jeff, my guess is he opened the lid and removed several screws that hold the pad to the inside lid, wrapped the cover over the pad and screwed it back on. I will be checking this out in detail tonight and I will post what I find.

 

I'll do a quick writeup on it, I took pics But yes, pretty much what Nick said, but it's not that easy lol.

 

How to install the center console cleanly:

1) Remove the inside cover of the lid (5 philips screws):




2) Remove the latch assembly (2 philips screws).


3) Install the cover. Pay attention to the neoprene line directions if you're a perfectionist.

4) Re-install the latch, ensure you "cut" the back plastic part on the inside of the seem to hold the cover down securely. Reinstall the two screws. Do not overtorque, remember it's very soft plastic!!!




5) Pull the cover around so you get a good bite all around. The lower portion is near impossible to get at this point, don't fret with it right now. Also, try to get it to stay out of the screw holes so you can get the back cover on and screw into it.



6) Re-install the back plate. You might want to use a small-ish flat head to help pull the cover away from the screw holes while you lean the back cover into them, it helped for me. Get all of the 5 screws re-installed but somewhat loose at this point.

7) Use the flat head to carefully go around the edges and wedge the cover under the hard plastic cover you reinstalled. Take your time and work very small sections straight through, it will go. Tighten all 5 screws back down to snug. Do not overtorque, remember it's very soft plastic!!!

8) Enjoy the clean install! The creases should fade over some time, same as your primary covers.









I'd also like to point out... my 2008's cover was different. It had an elastic strap going from one side to the other. Not sure if they changed the design, or do a different one for 09+. The right up is the same, just keep the strap behind the hard plastic.

 

He told me the same thing, but then back pedaled and said they could only do it with a red off-road. (a different rep though). I wanted all black, was weary of the red but ultimately I think it turned out ok. I'd still prefer all black though.

I'd also like to point out the install took me almost 4-5 hours (with some breaks here and there). Anything shorter is really pushing it to get the covers aligned correctly I think (or I'm just that slow). I fully removed the seats to so I can move them around easier. It was also a good opportunity to clean under the seats and discover there's an a/c vent under them lol.

 

I discovered this as well...lol

 

Thanks for the Beta!

 

Huh, maybe the first gen covers are different. I got mine all done in 1 1/2 hours in the dark. Did not remove the seats. Fronts only.

 

WO SUCKS! I asked for the same seat logo and they told me it was discontinued... 2 weeks after I ordered... I still don't have my seat covers and have no idea as to when they'll be here.

 

5 hours... man, did you have a few beers? The rear takes all of 45 mins.. Front, 1-2 hours max.

 

Nah I'm just a perfectionist man lol. Also like I said I took my time with it too, probably closer to 3.5-4 hours max the more I think about it, forget what time I really started. I think it was around 10:30 and I ended the seat covers around 2:30 and then spent until about 5:30 cleaning and detailing the rest of the truck. I also cleaned the seats before putting the covers on, cleaned up under the seats, cleaned around the console bin and did some other random stuff all throughout, did the seats inside the house ect. I wasn't really in a hurry to get it done. Also spent some time time talk'n with neighbors and stuff too.... just pretty chill.
