    do they hold their shape over time, sliding in and out seems like they might stretch. would like to hear from people that have them a couple of years or more. particularly Wet Okole or CoverKing brands. thanks

    I've had my oakles since Jan of 2011. I know what you mean from sliding on the seat cover and no mine are fine. One note is that getting dog hair off these covers for me is easier than the uncoverd TRD fabric. My German short haired pointer hair comes off easily on these. Was a pain before.

    The downside is in the summer, with the heat and sun, the whole truck smells like rubber.

    ^^^Hahaha, I just noticed your sig, Tim!^^^

    I had them in my Matrix ( daily driver ) for 8 years and they looked new when I sold it.

    Mine are almost 7 years old. There are obvious signs of wear, but no rips or tears. Overall they are holding up well.

    HELP I am having issues getting my seats covered... When I bought my 08 dbl cab 4x4 trd, leather&tow pkg...the grey 'mesh' lumbar seats +something else I can't remember...I immediately bought the $200 neo seat covers Toyota sells to fit my truck....
    THEY DON'T WORK. There was absolutely NO WAY to get the top & bottom all the way on the truck seat, let alone attach them.
    It took me and 2 techs 2+ hours to decide that these won't work because of the different upgrades I got. Combined, they make for a seat that has the carpeted 'flap' covering the underneath mechanicals in the back of the seats and no opening through the 'crack' in the seat where the bottom/seat back meet... that 'crack' is where every seat cover I've ever seen gets attached. I do NOT want baggy droopy unattached covers....NOT SURE what my options are.
    Has anyone else had this issue??

    fyi- wetokole's neoprene is very thin compared to barbari samples I got [can't find their website now :( ] and looks like CoverKing uses good material as well, they are my choice as of now...assuming SOMEBODY can make a cover for my truck?
    Before you say something stupid...trust me, they don't work...not even a little lol. MAYBE if the bottom and back were separate pieces I could get it on...

    I have Coverking "neosupreme" covers, resists spills but can stain, I have yet to wash them after 8 months use but they dont stretch. What I did notice is that the can scuff; I keep a knife in my back pocket and the clip rubs agaist the seat cover, I just noticed the other day that it wears it out a little more if you have crap like that in your back pockets or large buttons. They fit like a glove, that being said, you have to kinda force it all on but once its on, it aint going anywhere so its really snug. Also gives a little more cushion for a softer ride.

    Also, coverking does some sales and deals every now and then. They also do some kind of a facebook rebate; if you post a picture of your seat covers on your truck you get a free gift, I got a car duster.
