On a Honda Fit it took about half an hour per seat (only the two front seats).

 

On my 22 Outback Touring it was at least 30-45 minutes per seat. The second one was easier because I knew what to expect but I wouldn't think of them as occasional use items. Personally I wouldn't want to install and uninstall repeatedly. They are nice enough covers, available in many custom colors, and offer great protection for your leather seats, that you might just want to leave them on.

 

If they get dirty they can be washed in a front load washing machine and dryer.

 

We got the oem rear seat cover and that’s been on for over a year, suspect about 20 minutes to remove and put back on. For the front seats and the dirty, sweaty trail runners we use these, takes a minute to install/remove and are machine washable

i have a set of cover craft in my truck takes about 5 to 10 minutes per seat to take them out and roughly the same to reinstall.
wet okole are an up and coming brand that got big making wet suit material seat covers.
they are pretty nice, offer far more options than they did originally, and are pretty straight forward on and off from what the superduty community has to say.
i have no personal experience so not sure how much that helps... but hey i tried

 

Hi all.

...What I haven't seen, however, is an estimate for how long it takes to install and remove their front and rear seat covers.

Any feedback based on personal experience?

I purchased the Wet Okole seat covers for my 2021 Outback and it took me about 30 minutes or less per side to install ... I also helped install them on a 2021 Forester & it took that or less time to install.

Here's some pics of my install:

2022 OB Seat Covers

Hi everyone! I finally got my 2022 OB Onyx XT about 6 weeks ago. She still looks sparkling new and I hope to keep it that way. I've taken her to the lake for a paddleboarding excursion and one nice dirt road day trip. Unfortunately, when you spend a lot of money for a new car, you want to...

Hi!
I'm a 63-year-old physics-challenged woman who has a 2022 Subaru Outback basic 2.5l. The Wet Okole's are custom made neoprene, so they are a nice, tight fit and they look very good. I didn't find a video for how to install them specifically for Subarus but searching found a few that filled in a few gaps. If you understand all of the pieces and you just get hands on stuff, you could probably do it in a half hour to an hour at most, depending on whether you need to watch a video. The main thing on the front seats is getting the neoprene pieces from the back and the seat through the gap you can't see because of what Wet Okole calls the change catcher flap. If you feel under the seat where the elastic connects to a metal hook and detach the elastic from 2 hooks, you can lift that up and push and pull the straps with buckles to get the seat cover all the way on. One hook is easier to reach from the front and one from the back. You need to buckle the seat cover on. The back seat has pieces for everything, so if you can look at something and just understand it, it only requires putting the seats down, sliding everything on (need forearm strength) and removing the seat to attach the bottom seat cover.

All that said, I really don't think you want to go through all of that repeatedly to cover leather seats. I am not even going to take mine off except to wash them if they get really dirty/sweaty. It just feels as though installation for me is probably a one-time deal. Sorry I don't have any other recommendations, but this might help somebody with an install.

Good Luck!

 

I bought the not-cheap Wet Okole seat covers for my 2023 Outback in May. The covers for the front seats and head rests look good but the covers for all of back headrests were way off!

I contacted them about the poor fit and this was the response from one of their sales associates:

"Unfortunately the headrests appear different from the template we have available. It seems as though the rear headrests have changed in the new 2023 model. As of now we do not have a template with the same headrests as the 2023 model. Unfortunately we would need to wait until we have a template available which can take months."

For the $650 price-tag, I expected better fit and customer service.

As of this writing, I'm still waiting ...

 

i have had excellent luck with coverking seat covers over the years...
i won a set for my superduty and they are fantastic fit and finish

 

Be sure that any seat covers you opt for are compatible with the seat mounted airbag systems.

 

Hey folks I just received Wet Okole covers and spent at least an hour trying to figure out the driver‘s seat lower portion. How the heck are you supposed to get cover through the plastic piece where the seat adjustment controls are? It’s not just a matter of needing small hands to feed it through there, there isn’t a path for it to pass through - anyone have a suggestion for this? It looks total cheeseball going outside the plastic so I’m stuck and very frustrated. Thanks.

 

From my response from a different thread:

Seat Cover: Hard to Install

I just ordered some vinyl seat bottom covers through Amazon for my 2023 Outback. They arrived and look pretty good, but I should have closely examined the front seats before ordering. The seats are designed with no gap between the top and bottom sections, and the sides have plastic moulding...

Good luck!

 

i know on my superduty the front seats have the plastic frame so to speak and the covers have a rolled tube type of thing to tuck into the edge of the plastic seat housing?... where the controls etc are located.
i dont know if it is even possible but you might be able to find a way to rig something similar with the wet okoles? or check with them and see what they recommend. seat covers are ricey these days to have to mod them to make them fit.
best of luck and let us know how you get this resolved

 

Took maybe 20 minutes per side. It can be a bugger and honestly I just tucked it in there nice and tight. They have not moved in the 3 weeks I have had them.
