Wet Okole Seat Covers

When I search the 2007 forum I find little mention of these seat covers, but appears more popular in previous MC models. Do they fit well on the 2007 MC? Does the sport seat matter? Does anyone happen to know which color best matches pacific blue trim? I appreciate your time.

The new seats are so nice it's a shame to cover them! All Wet Okole covers are extremely good quality and fit like a glove, so I don't think that is a problem.

Wet okole seat covers are very nice. I had them on 2 of my miatas and they do fit like a glove. They are easy to keep clean and look great. If you ask, the company will send you samples of the colors, and they are prety good sized samples at that, so it should be easy to match the color to your blue trim.

I thought that installing seat covers in the MC is a no-no since there are air-bags inside the seatbacks... how would they deploy in an accident?

If your vehicle comes equipped with side airbags, Wet Okole seat covers have openings that allow the side airbags to deploy without interference so no worries there.

Wet Okoles RULE!

Call them...there is a toll-free number on their website. They will send you color samples, they will assist you in selecting the covers, designs, and "logo" if you want one.

The airbags are no problem. Wet Okoles will ask for the year/model of your MINI and the seat covers will be designed and delivered with the appropriate holes for the airbags.

Be sure to spend the extra few dollars for the UV protectant; particularly if you're going with any color other than gray. I've got red ones (see gallery) and they are amazing! They don't get hot. They don't get cold. They are easy to install, easy to clean, and with UV protectant will look new for years to come.
