Neoprene seat covers - now or later?

[khigh]

I have awesome two tone leather seats in my 2K Z71, and they're in great shape, considering, but they're 15 years old. there are some little "wrinkles/age softening" that are almost certainly going to open up eventually. And I'm not exactly a 100 pounder getting in and out.

Anyone familiar with neoprene seat covers?

I was thinking about being a little proactive - putting on neoprene for day to day, and then taking them off to class things up a bit while the leather's still good. Are they pretty easy off and on like that?

Or is it more of a "wait til they rip then cover them up for good until I come up with $800-$1000 to have the originals redone"?

If you hide the oem stuff you may forget to do it later. If neoprene is hard to slide around on then i would personally not them on. It would get frustrating trying to move around on those things.

Neoprene seat covers like Wet Okole have the "sticky" side towards the seat. The part towards your body is fabric. You slide around just fine. They're a stretch fit so there's no way I'd plan on installing/removing them on a regular basis. Assuming the problem is on the seat (as opposed to the back), you can get an OEM style base for about $200. If it were me, I'd put seat covers on now to try and save the OEM covers as long as possible then buy new seat covers when you can.

i had cover kings on my old truck. they where comfortable but i would never want to take them on and off very often. they are made to fit and take some time to install/remove
