Re: Best affordable seat covers?

You might be interested in the following regarding seat covers: Seat Covers
http://www.ridgelineownersclub.com/f...480#post286480
Wet Okole: FRONT COVERS: http://www.wetokole.com/HONRIDGEF.html , REAR COVERS: http://www.wetokole.com/HONRIDGER.html

Although the Wet Okole's are fairly steep initially in cost, over the long run, I think they are MORE than worth the initial outlay! I've had mine for nearly 2.5 years and they still look as nice as the day I installed them! Quite a few folks here have gone with this option, and I think they are as satisfied and happy with them as I am with mine.

They are well worth the money! I would buy them again.

Re: Best affordable seat covers?

At 12k, my driver side back started to show wear?? Took it in to Lute Riley Honda and they ordered and replaced it..great service, neat job..Charged Honda $320 for the warranty work..I purchased a front seat pair of Wet-Okole covers for under $300 and the seats will never show wear again..I purchased Black with #11 (Charcoal) inserts..no piping..zipper pockets on seat backs..they look grat with the interior of my 2007 RTX Silver exterior.

These are really beautiful seat covers. I have a question of you, since you have them.

I hate leather or vinyl because I sweat profusely when next to seat like that. That's why I chose the RTS.............cloth seats. But they do need protection. Since these covers are neoprene, are they hot? Do they breathe?

Re: Best affordable seat covers?

Remember when looking at seat covers that you have air bags in the front seats. Adding seat covers is not recommended (but neither is a dash cover and I have one of those). The Okole are supposed to allow the air bags to deploy.

Re: Best affordable seat covers?

I noticed that for the rear seats, they recommend professional installation, did anyone install themselves and how difficult was it?? Thinking of ordering the rear seat okole''s first as my two puppies seat in the back and they shed. Did anyone order the back support? Is it worth it. thanks and best wishes, bill, snoqualmie WA

I installed both front and back myself -- very east to do just take your time.
Check my posts (and photos) -- especially posts 11 and 20 (#20 has photos of the rear after installation) -- Seat Covers

Wet Okole didn't have the lumbar back support available when I ordered my covers in 2005 so of course, don't know anything about it. Good luck, and I know you'll love them for many years to come if you decide on them!
