Installed Diver Down seats (thoughts and results)

[Clarkr32]

Easy install except I dont think IMO they will stay in place well. maybe they arent tight enough but the bottom doesnt go far enough or deep enough inside the seat to close the gap of the difference.
Seems very comfy
Somehow my seat is now lots higher after installing them, think i unknowingly raised them with a bar I didnt know under the said raised it. Prob something stupid i didnt know. I mean like 3 inches higher not material result higher
They look very nice just not sure how waterproof they are going to be with the gap between top and bottom.
Very thin material

Have only installed front seats, back to be done soon.
Don’t mind the mess my wife just bought a new car and we threw all her stuff from her car in my backseat real quick
oh and thats a jeep gladiator in the cup holder too

I have been looking at these.......but the reviews are mixed.

I'm probably going to with Wet Okole.......do they cost more yes, but they're a great product

You may be able to tighten them a bit more to hide those stitch points. I installed these on my wife's JL. Feed the seat cover until those are hidden, then tighten. You don't want to rip the straps.

I think they are good quality for the price. I'm not a fan of the design and not really a huge seat cover fan but I put these on my wife's JL. She originally had the smittybuilt seat covers that only lasted about 2 and half years before tearing at the seam -- she's a small person so she's not the cause but they have crappy reviews.

I have done both the smittybuilt and diver down and like th ediver down much better. The biggest complaint with the smittybuilt is the seat bottom does not stay in place. The diver down had no issues at all.

I put the same on mine a couple years ago, black/red. Looked great for a while, but I have now incorporated color-matching duct tape where they have begun to disintegrate. The red tape doesn't necessarily match the now pinkish seats.

I regularly sprayed them with UV protectant and use a sun shade, although, the driver's side gets sun when I go to work with the doors off.

I'll be replacing with Katzkin when they do their next sale...

Those the best?

I should've said Katzkin leather. As far as neoprene, I don't remember if any I looked at were UV resistant. The sun will be your biggest enemy.

And seeing how good yours look makes me realize how bad mine look now.

Two years deep in those huh? I’m in IL so not as many sunny days as when I was in AZ. I’ll be back there so mine will have to do until we move again. Was thinking backtrat ones but I’ll look into katskinz

A little over a year on mine. Still look great. No issues with tearing fading etc. The fronts will move after a long weekend of wheeling, or hunting, etc (when you go in and out all the time).

This is as far as mine have ever moved and it takes about 3 mins to undue the Velcro and pull the straps back tight again.

The Velcro annoyed the shhh out of me
