Costco seat covers for 06+
My driver's side seat is getting worn on the left side, so I want to get some seat covers for it. I read the Costco covers are a very good fit. According to the site, they don

What does Cyclon36 charge for recovering seats?

Katzkin might be an option.

Last year I ordered, installed, and almost immediately returned, Costco's Cover King Neoprene seat covers for my 06 S2K. In my opinion, the fit was TERRIBLE.
Funny thing is, for the last year I've had a set of Costco's cheap/generic $20.00 a set Hawaiian seat covers in my 2006 S2K. I haven't seen them for sale at Costco online, but the Hawaiian seat covers are frequently available in Costco stores.
You would be surprised, the cheap generic seat covers fit pretty darn good. All I had to do was remove two screws and seatbelt guide from the side of each seat, install the seat cover, then reinstall seat belt guides.
Granted, they may not be as nice as custom fit Wet Okole seat covers, but they fit OK, look OK, and keep sand off the seats when I take the dog to the beach.

I didn't know the Costco fit were terrible. I had read somewhere that they fit as good as the Wet Okole, but they're about $100 cheaper. The Katzkin look good. I didn't know about the suede option. The leather is about $300. I might just try the Costco $20 first. All I'm trying to do is reduce wear on the driver's left bolster. The other option is wait until my seat tears and then get new covers. In any case, thanks for the suggestions.

ummm, I could be wrong, but there is not actually speakers in the headrest. The headrest speakers that were added in the 06+ are those that are in the hoops. So I don't think a cover is going to have anything to do with speakers sound.

come to think about it, you're right. I wonder why they say they don't make covers for the 06+ S2K?

Someday I'm going to just go to a local upholstery shop and have my tan seats and doors recovered in saddle brown leather, and get a custom saddle carpet or black. Saddle just looks too good in a GPW.
