I am thinking hard about the Wet Okole seats, except for them being about $500, are they worth it over the dodge seat covers?
You can get leather for that price!!

I found Katzkins for about $750, I wonder if its about the same to install that of the Wet Okole. I would like to do it myself so just wondering if one is easier than the other.

I agree. Just took mine off and washed them, look great!!! A couple of thoughts 1) Removing the passenger seat was definitely a good call (much easier) 2) Wash on gentle cycle and air dry 3) After washing spray with Scotchguard. 4) Search ebay for some leather seat covers or Katzkins 5) good luck

Wet Okole's just pull over the existing seats. Like your traditional seat covers. Katzkins are replacement seat covers, so you need to pull the stock fabric off and install these. Most take them to an auto upholstery shop to get them installed, I am sure you could do it yourself, but it would take some work...

I washed mine like that. Gentle cycle with a very small amount of detergent and air dry. I had a cola stain in the back seat that I could not get out so I decided to give the washing machine a try and it worked GREAT!!

The seats in the 06 I had stained easy. It was a constant shampoo battle. I'm loving the new Yes Essentials stuff

Ya, I ended up ordering Black on Black Wet Okole covers.

I wanted Yellow on Black (Steelers) but I thought the wife would flip out.

I installed them myself, she comes out to look and says hmmm, I figured you'd order Yellow on Black?

I said what!?

x4 on the '06 seats... totally irresponsible of Dodge not to do a recall on these or replace them with the YES essentials. After the first water stain (who could have believed it, water) took my to Ziebart and had them scotchguarded. So far so good. Just a PITA Dodge won't stand behind these.
