CoverKing seat covers

Anybody out there try this product?
Pricing? Any thoughts on which fabric
might be the best to get?
Advice on the neoprene covers by them.

Thanx,

Thanx,
Yes, have them....front and back. Pricing is expensive. I can only speak about the neoprene so, I'm one sided on the fabric that's best. Advice on neoprene.........I have the charcoal color - they match my particular interior darn close.

I have a set of wet okoles in the truck. They have about 200k miles on them. They need to be replaced due to the abuse they have seen. My seats underneath still look brand new.

I bought a set of the Coverkings for my little Honda Fit. They seem comparable in quality and so far after a year they still look brand new and are showing no signs of wear.

Both of those were the neoprene ones. Charcoal for me both sets of the okole and the coverkings. If you order through costco you get a pretty decent discount and I dont think you have to be a member if you order online.

I had the Wet Okole seat covers in my '05 ford, and now have the Coverkings in my dodge. I like prety much everything about the Coverkings better. The fabric on top of the neoprene holds up better. the Okole's pilled up from getting in and out of the truck. The fit and install were better and easier too. I ordered the Coverkings from costco for about $350 total. That was somewhere around $200 cheaper than I paid for the Okle covers, and I like them better. They include everything just like the Okole covers (seats, armrests, consoles, headrests). Here is a kink to costco. They sell them quite a bit cheaper than anyone else, and you get them faster too. From the time I ordered, they were on my door step in 8 days! that's quick for custom.

I have had the Coverkings for 2 years. They don't look like new but the seats underneath do. Wet dogs, mud, and blood will do that to a seat cover. If these ever do wear out (they're dirty but not a wear mark) I'll buy another set.

In my experience, you should also consider Marathon Superhides. I've got'em and they wear like iron, super nice folks too.

Good luck in your decision.

Wet Okole Black on Black with me...Only 2 weeks old, but I like them a lot. Fit is awesome. Working with the VW instructions they sent for my Dodge wasn't easy. Actually only the front console was a pain to get on.

P.S. My seats are actually comfortable now.

Does anyone have pictures? I would like to see the pictures installed with the Coverking and everything else.
I'm close to pulling the trigger. I love the look of the stock seat covers, but the fabric is horrible - it loves to stain!!!

I just checked Costco's site from the link Mastercaster provided. After putting in your email address, the next page you put in your credit card info. If you're not a Costco member, it's only 5% more. Membership is probably more than that.

Good luck with your decision.

A word of caution on seat covers: Make sure the fit is so that they will not slide over the seat controls. I suspect this stripped the gears on one of my motors... can't prove it, but the cover was over the control when I noticed the seat control was not working.

I had the Coverking neoprene seat covers from Costco and I returned them after 8 months because they faded so bad and the top fabric layer separated from the foam layer. It is bad that they faded, because the sun hardly shines in northeast Ohio. For about 150.00 more you could have leather.

You can order the Coverkings to fit around your controls - so part of the ordering process is to tell them which kind of controls you have.....

Did you have any trouble returning them after 8 months? I was probably going to be ordering these soon - this is the first negative I have heard with them....

No, the return process was quite easy.
