!!! OFFICIAL Wet Okole Group Buy Thread 09/11/14-09/28/14 !!!

I just got mine installed and the UV protectant put on. They look great and I'm excited to finally be able to not worry about the seats getting messed up after the gym or fishing. My only gripe is that the seat covers are thick enough that I can't fold up my access cab jump seats any longer, but I guess now that they are covered I'll just set my stuff on there.

 

I initially had that problem with the access seats. Try pushing the seat up, hold it back and work the little lever to lock them back. That worked for me.

 

Ok so Im not sure if I installed the front seat backs properly. Im having the same problem another member had about a year ago. He explained it better so here is what he said:

On the front seats where the bottom two flaps are supposed to velcro together, it's impossible to do on my seats because of the carpet covered plastic flap attached to the seat on the very bottom back. What I did was tightly tuck the front flap of the seat cover between the seat back cushion and bottom cushion and then velcroed the back flap of the seat cover to the carpet covering that curved plastic flap.

I have the same problem. Any help is greatly appreciated.

 

You are supposed to unclip that carpet flap which has to clips at the bottom seat then pull it back and put the seat cover over it and that's it hope it helps

 

So it took one week for your covers to be done?

 

Thanks airmax233! I just figured that out after I posted. Did some searching around and another member answered my question in an older thread. It also said the same thing in the instructions that I got from Wet Okole. Which, of course, I didn't read at all.

 

That would appear to be the case. They quoted delivery in about 4 weeks, but this will have them to me in about half that time if they show up any time soon.

 

Got mine on in about 45 minutes. Did not remove the seats-may have been quicker if I did.
It took a few tries to buckle those straps under the seats. Not much room under there and one does work blind.
My console cover is all wrinkled. I am hopeful the wrinkles disappear overnight.
Thumbs up so far. The padding feels awesome.
edit

The wrinkles are coming out of the console cover. Only been on a couple hours. Pleased

 

got mine on friday, no tracking email so when I got home I was surprised lol. good thing they got here before the storm lol.

as for the front seats on that flap part on the bottom, do we just fold it up backwards after unhooking it?

 

yep

then hook the flap on the Okole to the same spot you unhooked the coin catcher thingy

 

Didn't take the seats out. Was a really easy install. Happy with them so far.

 

Couple questions. How in the heck are you guys getting the console cover to fit?? Are you putting it over the release button?

Also, for the access cab guys, where are you attaching the covers for the back part of the jumper seats?

 

Yup no problem sir!

 

Yeah, look at my pic. I just put it over the button. Still works just as well.

 

Josh,

If you have the same jump seats as my 2014, take the top baby hook cover off that's directly under the head rest. Pull the cushion back slightly at the top to get the top piece of each side of the cover to slide behind it. Using those two points as an anchor, pull down slightly to re-install the baby hook cover which will also tuck the edges of the wet okole cover in behind it. Now take the two elastic bands at the bottom and run them through their respective silver hook point below them that sticks out between the seat back and seat bottom. Now connect hook the two hooks from the seat cover together in the middle. This should provide even tension pulling down to keep the cover tight against the seat back.

If you need more info or pictures, just PM me.

If you have the jumps that are more like a continuous bench seat versus individual, reference this from wet okole:

Can't Wait!

 

Finally had a couple hours to install everything. Very happy with the results, though I'm definitely going to do some more tweaking to improve the fit.

 

Well they have been on for about a week now, here are some crappy cell pics for those interested in the RTM-5. I didn't take the seats out. Install took about 20 min. Looks and feels great!

 

Agh! Same here

 

That looks sweet! Can't wait to get mine, keep checking my email throughout the day looking for a shipped notice!
