Rear Seat Covers for 05 Cabrio?

Does anyone know of a company that offers good quality seat covers for the 05 Mini Convertible? I'd like a full set, but so far can only find covers for the front seats.

Thanks!
Lee

I ran into the same problem. Wet Okole makes them, and I love mine! They cost more than other kinds I researched, but they look really nice.

I agree with you on the Wet Okole I have them for the front and back. I found mine on Craigs List and got the entire set front and back for $120. The seat covers make it much nicer to drive with the top down, it does take longer for the seat heaters to get warm but it is great in the summer sun.

Look around and check craigst list or e-bay you never know what you will find.

I am crazy about my rear seat cover from poochstyle.com.
Here's a pic of us out motoring. It's super easy to fit and stays in place even at high speeds with no dog to anchor it!
My dog is crazy about jumping in the car to ride!

I did the rear seat delete as I don't really need it as seats right at this time. I can still mount a infant seat (due to the new style anchors to the frames they are still there when you remove the seat bottom) and I also can then put the Dog back there without any concern for the seats now.

Which rear seat delete did you use?

Oh gosh... you would have to ask that... I know its the smaller family outfit that makes them but the name escapes me right now. Maybe someone will know before it comes back to me...

ADDED ON EDIT Found it in another thread, http://www.wyvernmotorsports.com/MINI_Cooper.html

I had to locate and drill two holes for access to the child seat attachment points. But i drilled them from behind and left the Carpet intact. Then slit the carpet so it actually still looks like its intact when the Child seat is out. This also gives access to use those as tethers for the Dog Harness too. I think the holes i made were 1 and 1/4 inch and I used a hole saw to do it.

In addition I also then attached my Fire Extinguisher bracket off on to one side of the flooring.
