    I recently ordered some wet okole seat covers with the OEM Style Pockets. I just read 2 different post about the SAGGING rear OEM pocket. Can anyone else confirm this issue? I do not plan on putting anyting in the rear pockets anyways nor I have yet to even use the pockets on the OEM seats, but I just want to be aware of the issue. The seat covers do not sag right from the manufacture right? Only after stuff is put in it for a long period of time?
    Can you post picture of your pockets?

    THANKS

    I copied the post from the other member posted below.

    Kind of pissed when I saw what is happening to my Wet Okole seat covers....
    Purchased these in the Spring GB of this year (2015) and have kept nothing more than a few maps and the Toyota Booklets that you get when you purchase the vehicle (maintenance, navigation manuals, etc.).


    So when I saw what it was doing to the seat covers (starting to rip & be incredibly droopy) I started wondering if anyone else had this issue?? If so is there anything Wet Okole can do about it ie. change them to the black zipper backings that seem a bit more sturdy.... I had them on my 1999 Tacoma and had zero issues with them.

    I love Wet Okole but for being tight and form fitting, these back pockets sure are an eye sore every time I open the rear doors or want to utilize their pockets :confused:

    Not very happy at all with the OEM Map Flaps on the rear of bucket seats. They are really loose and just sag almost to the rear bench seat when stuff (like a map) is in the pockets. Would advise whoever sees this post to think twice about getting them....

    Seat back pockets are never going to be tight. They're meant to hold stuff and they need the fabric to be able to do so, whether by slack or by stretch, or both.

    Too much stuff or too heavy stuff and it will stretch and sag, that shouldn't be a surprise.

    If you want a longer lasting setup, skip the pockets. That said, I can't imagine that issue wouldn't be covered under warranty if all the pocket actually had in it were lightweight items.

    I already place the order for my Wet okole seat cover with OEM pockets. As long as they are nice fitted and tight from the manufacture I am not too worried.
