Wet Okole and folding rear seats? (and other questions with impending group buy)

    For those of you with DC trucks and Wet Okole (or similar seat covers) in your rear seats, does having them installed prohibit me from folding the rear seats?

    I will be partaking in the upcoming 2014 Wet Okole Group Buy, but I am debating whether or not to order the back row. Day to day I keep at least one of the seats in the back folded, but when I do have four people in the vehicle it is frequently to go camping, running/triathlon events, hunting, etc where the seats could still get dirty. I'm trying to decide if it is worth the $300+ for the rear row or if I should just use a towel or something.

    Any input is greatly appreciated.

    They fit like a glove. You have no issues with function with them on. The worst thing about them is attempting to get them on since they fit so tight, but really that's a good thing. Good luck with your future purchase man

    No issues. The rear seats are 4 pieces. You have two for the back portion and two for the bottom portion.

    Excellent, thanks folks! One more question: How bad is the fading? I am eying the full grey or charcoal with piping but if they fade horribly I may go with black.

    I couldn't help on that. I have the real tree ones. There isn't really any fading with mine but I also use the cleaning kit religiously.

    I kinda wish I got something darker than the light grey. They show stains and wear way too easily. I live in Seattle, so no fading issues. The charcoal would be a lot better, IMHO.

    The WOs fit snugly in the rear. If I access under or behind the seat, I usually spend a few secs tucking stuff in. They don't prohibit at all. If you're getting front, I'd get the back as well. Both seats on the left side of my truck get dirty most often. The rear driver side because I'm always putting stuff in the back seat.

    Good stuff guys. I'm also participating in the group buy and was slightly concerned about the rear covers making it hard to open the driver side cubby hole door without rubbing. It already rubs the adjacent seat edge as is, I would think it must only be worse with covers. Since nobody says it's an issue I'm gonna go for them.

    I'm thinking charcoal and black with charcoal piping? I've got a white truck, grey interior with black carpet. Ordered black Husky liners (floor mats) today. Was torn between grey and black for a while, but happy with my decision to go black.

    I'm leaning towards this, or full charcoal with black piping. I have a Blue Ribbon Metallic truck with grey interior and black Weathertechs. I'm leaning towards full grey but I am worried about fading.
