I was thinking about getting some seat covers. I have leather seats. 2009 gmc cc 4x

Wetokole

https://www.wetokole.com/CHEV.html

My questions are ? Would the leather be okay under the seat covers? Would I need to remove the covers periodically to condition the leather?

 

I've had the truck since Sept. 08 and have not done anything to the leather yet.

What should I be doing to condition them?

The manual only recommends an occasional cleaning with a mild soap and If I remember correctly not to use the conditioning products. I don't plan on covering my leather up, I like it too much.

I have some wet okole's in my 01 sierra. I like them very much. They look good and do an excellent job of protecting your seats. I dont have any experience with putting them on leather seats, but I do remember their website specifying that "no rubber will touch your seat, which is important when it comes to leather or vinyl seats".

 

I really like their seat covers. Mine took a lot of abuse, and if I had taken care of them (as in cleaned them and protected them from the sun) they would look a lot better currently. They are still on the truck, but some of the outer cloth has worn off and is showing bare rubber. They also faded a bit. But remember! This is because I didnt take care of them....but thats why I bought them, to protect my cloth seats which still look brand new underneath 8 years later. So.....this time around, I am tinting my windows, make more use of sun shades, and buying the cleaning kit for the seat covers.

I've got leather in mine. I'll be putting a seat cover on the middle row seat at least. With a pre-schooler riding in the truck, I'd rather clean chocolate milk/juice/etc off a seat cover than have it all over the leather seats. Also not to mention her climbing all over the seats, standing on them, etc.

I'm thinking of getting some seat covers for the rear seat in my truck as well. With the baby on the way, and my truck being brand new, i'd like to protect the rear seat for the upcoming years of hell that its going to get put through..... so $250-$300 is a wise investment IMO since a destroyed leather seat will devalue the truck much more than that (and cost more to repair).

 

Are there any other good companies than Wetokole?

      AFM Disabler Question

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I’m doing an experiment on a vehicle I don’t have much money in. I’m going by the premise that after they last 100K miles they were no mechanical problems with assembly. Or defects with the parts. With oil changes by the minder for the first 127K miles when I acquired it. I quickly went through low mileage oil changes then settled on 5k oil changes with close to 170K miles on the vehicle currently. I did have the option to turn off the cylinder deactivation. I didn’t on this vehicle because it’s in ECONOMY mode at least half the time. It should be a no brainer frequent oil changes are the key. The manufacturer gets away with the long oil changes with its severe service  maintenance. Just ask them what is normal.

      Hot air constantly blowing through floor vents, drivers side only?

      By baglie1 · Posted

      Even set to "recirculated", the air pushes out and is hot. I have noticed that sometime it doesn't want to switch between recirculated/vented air. Say it is set to Circulated Air and I want to switch to Vented, when I click the Vented button, it just quickly lights up/clicks and immediatly switches back to Circulated. It's done this a few times now. So maybe it is an actuator getting stuck? But then, that doesn't explain the hot air when everything is off does it?

      Gas Prices

      I wonder what the price is out at the coast, Big Sur or other out of the way locations as I bet they are charging quite a premium over the in land pumps.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Were you looking at the HD trucks on the GM website or the half tons as that makes all the difference. As far as I know there are only two options for the HD trucks and that is the standard 2 speed transfer case or the 2 speed transfer case that has the added 4 high auto feature and they put that transfer case by default into the LTZ and High Country although its optional in the LT and not sure if its available in the work trucks.    The half tons, that is where its been a total mess in my estimation for a few years now with most trucks below the top trim having the single speed transfer case as standard but with the option of having the two speed such as one would get by choosing the Z71 package, however then not being able to get the two speed transfer case with the towing package unless it was a higher trim truck AND had the 6.2 gas so one could combine the towing package gearing diffs with the two speed transfer case. Having said that if its a trail boss package then it gets the two speed transfer case but not necessarily able to get the tow package as it would depend on trim level and engine chosen. Believe me, people have bought the GM half tons assuming "of course it will have a two speed transfer case" only to find out after when they really pay attention to what they now own .... crap, there is NO low range !.    I don't believe Ford or Ram have gone that way yet with their half tons but like I say its been a few years now that GM has done this with the half tons.
