Wet Okole FTW!

 

Some folks do have them. I do not, but I see a set of front covers in my future. The original pleather cavers are starting to get worn on my MINI.

Something like this might work for you peep.

Pet Pad® - Seat Protector

 

I got my second set of seat covers a mont ago. Got it off eBay for crazy price. Wet Okole, of course! Full set. My "old" set is for sale (see ads on this forum).

New set is great! Everything I imagined...




And the rear, of course!





Vote for PEPPERNSALT in February for MINI of the month...

 

When the original seat material starts wearing out, then I'll get seat covers.

 

I just went with the fronts, as the rears just never get used in my car. I don't have a problem with the heat and sweating as I usually have the air on when it gets hot enough to sweat a lot.....:biggrin5:

 

I just Googled Wet Okole because I didn't know what it was. I found their web site. Nice variety of seat covers, not cheap; but relatively inexpensive considering having them recovered in an upholstery shop. Looks like lots of choices in design and piping.

 

What year MINI?

 

Please keep in mind you have side airbags that will deploy from the side of the seat.
Make sure if you get them they have the airbag flap.....

 

From what I have seen most all seat covers have those, but that is a very good reminder. Safety first!

 

I kinda hate "me too" posts, but... Me too. ;-)

If you do find an answer outside the forums, let us know what you found. I have yet to do any comprehensive Googling, but a cursory search has turned-up nothing, and I too worry about the airbag issue.

^what he said.....

Love my 8yr old Wet Okole covers.

 

Wow, P&S is hitting it everywhere. A rolling advert for MOTM Good Job ! :aureola: :wink:

 

Wet Okole

 

I recently put Coverking mesh covers on my front seats because my butt and back were less than fond of the puddle that seemed to form between them and the lovely leatherette seats. I hasn't been too hot yet (in FL, BTW) so the jury is still out on whether they'll solve that problem. I passed on the Wet Okoles due to price and I couldn't imagine neoprene (being essentially rubber) being much better than the leatherette, sweat-wise.
They fit and look decent and DO have flaps to allow the side airbags to work.
