Best seat covers for a '98
I want to buy some seat covers- I really hate the horse trailer toting cowboy type cloth stuff- I would like something like a wet suit type or something- something I can take out and hose off- I have a great dane that sheds short hairs now and then. It is a quad cab and I would really like something that matches front and back, and fit's well, with the fold down console middle seat and all.

I have the Wet Okole seat covers. They are excellent. Made of neoprene (wet suit material), are waterproof, though if you spill something in your lap it doesn't soak into the seat, so your pants get to soak it all up, but once wiped up it is dry. I have had them about 3 years and 100k now and I think well worth the money. They are not showing any signs of wear. They fit great. They have quite a selection of colors and prints. I used the charcoal grey to match my interior. www.wetokole.com

No, you don't stick to them like vinyl. They don't make you sweat as much as vinyl either but they are waterproof so you do sweat a bit more than cloth (well not sweat more than but it doesn't disapate as quickly as cloth, cloth just soaks it up into the seat ). I have not found it to be a problem and summers can be hot here and I take frequent trips to the utah desert where it is definitely hot. In the winter time they are not cold like vinyl they warm right up.

Something with legs up to about, OOPS, wrong forum.
I just use full size towels cut in half to lay on the seat. When they get dirty, I wash them. If they get too yucky, I cut them into strips and use them for rags.
Howz that for recycling?

I have the Mopar seat covers. They are a canvas material, tough as nails and have the Ram logo on the headrest.
Perfect fit, tough and washable. They have all the cut-outs for the seat controls, lumbar etc unlike aftermarket stuff. Also they don't "filter" out the dirt like the woven ones do. I found the woven ones just let the fine sand through that ruins your seats. IMHO...
Go MOPAR!!!

I have the Mopar covers also. Awesome fit and wear. Had mine on for about 2 years now and no problems at all. They get dirty, yank them off and wash them, they fit perfect when you put them back on.
They are a little pricey when you get the back seat cover at the same time, but more than worth the money.

The Mopar covers show up quite often on ebay. A set for the front in excellent condition sold there just yesterday for $55.

I also have a 98 quad and I have put my two great danes in the back. I took out the tray and fold the seat up for them, but when they stand, they still look over my shoulders when I am driving. That is my only complaint about a fifth wheel. I used to put them under my camper shell in the bed.
Might pick up a set of those covers myself.
