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

Just Waiting............2 more weeks for me

 

Just checked. Mine are shipping today!!

 

anyone done a write-up for properly installing front covers....removing seats loosen some plastic thing flip it and I am sure something else

 

Also, don't forget to disconnect the battery first before disconnecting the air bags (if applicable).
The main 4 bolts are 14mm (recommend 3/8ths drive, 1/4 will work though and I used it this time around.... I wouldn't use 1/2 though).

The back covers just use a flathead to pop the covers off the rear on the little tabs... they come off easy. Also, driver and pass have different directions so you can't mix them up.

Also, don't forget to disconnect the rear change flap when installing. You can cut if off for the cleanest install, but I just fold it up and under the wet okole cover so I can return to stock later. It doesn't look to bad and over time it'll kinda bend flat and be almost un-noticeable. The 2010 had easy to remove plastic clips, my 08 had metal rings you can open with a couple of pliers (just bend it).

 

Any pics? I am a little lost I know the passenger seat folds flat and driver has some carpeted flap underneath it but pics would really help.

 

Nope sorry, when you pull it off and look at it you'll see. The pass and driver's side are essentially identical minus lumbar support and stuff. They both have the change flap, and you don't need to adjust the seat back position to install them, just push it through with your hand.

 

Got em today! I only had time to put on the fronts. Think they look pretty good, although I'm gonna try and redo the headrests because I think I can get them on better. Didn't take the seats out of the truck, simply unbolted and tilted back. Heres a few pics

 

Looking good, but you head rest covers are on backwards...

 

Lol, well that would explain why I wasn't getting them to fit good. Thanks for the tip!

OT, but thanks for the link to the Cheap cabin air filters!!! They wanted feckin $30.00 at pep boys!!! DB's!!!! I ended up cutting up a furnace filter from target, I 'll get prolly 4 out of a large filter for $15.00, but they're not great. Easily deformed. + rep for you.

 

Wait, when you mean backwards, do you mean like the driver side and passenger side are different, or that they actually need to turn the other direction? Because I just tried turned the passenger side cover the other way and that was just not working at all....the post things didn't line up right and it wouldn't really go on right.

 

Wow I got mine really early!!!! I ordered on the 10th and got them today!!!, Will Post Pics tomorrow..

 

Wait I might be wrong, I thought it looked backwards but it might not be, I need to look at mine again...

 

The little seams look like they followed the factory seam's curve. I think I just needed to pull it on a lot better, it looks better now since I tried to pull it tighter. I tried to look at some other pics on here for reference and it appears the curves going the same way lol.

 

new group buy???????????????????????????????????????

 

MINE!!! Thanks Jeff for making the Group Buy a success.

I just got back from the Wet Okole factory in Orange County, CA where they installed my covers in less then 30 minutes. The look great. No pictures since by now you all know what they look like.

Someone had mentioned that they felt like they were sitting up higher. My seat covers also have the heaters in them, I sure did feel like I was higher up, had to adjust my mirrors. But not a bad thing. They look good and feel good. I was all adjusted to the additional height by the time I drove the hour and half back home.

The smell is a little strong, but that should go away in a few days.

This was a super group buy.

 

It'll be longer than a few days (had mine installed for a couple weeks now)...I've been having to leave my windows cracked while at work to let the smell vent out during the daytime (of course, its been unusually hot the last week or so here in S.D) so that may have something to do with the smell.
