Need lightweight fitted seat covers

Can anyone suggest a fine pair of thin seat covers for the CLK55?

I had the genuine MB full sheepskin on my '04 CLK500. Nice but were a bit too warm for Florida.

I am hoping someone in the group can offer a heads up on a well fitted thin seat cover for CLK55 that looks good. Thanks!

The lack of interest and acivity on this MB forum is a disappointment. Every other forum or auto club I am involved in has life, activity and lots of participants. Why are MB sites so listless? Where are the MB enthusiasts?

Take a look at www.wetokole.com

My girlfriend has them on her M3 convertable. They are made of a really nice neoprene material. They are waterproof as well. We had them custom colored two tone to match the interior. They are black with a grey insert like my AMG seats. You can also have things screenprinted onto the seat back or headrest. Order a sample material/color for free.

They are custom fitted to each car model so I am not sure if they would have a CLK or not. IMO they are the nicest seat covers available. Rugged too as the M3 is used for a beach car. About $225 for a set of 2.

Good luck.

Thanks for the heads up on Wet Okole. I have used sheepskins in the past but now that I'm in Florida, I want a thin lightweight cover to protect the leather.

Ordered the covers today. Delivery is in about 3-4 weeks.
You can order at secondary sites and save the shipping costs but if you want piping or any real feature options, you must order directly at the www.wetokole.com website.

I will be putting my factory beige deluxe Mercedes sheepskin covers on eBay now.

Take some pictures and let us know how they work out. Personally I don't care about seat covers but for convertable owners and my girl's M3 convertable I think they are great.

Did they have a custom set tailored to the CLK or did you have to buy the generic bucket seat cut. The custom tailored one's are ideal and look the best.

I had placed a website order with WetoKole but they emailed me and stated they do NOT have the pattern for an W209 CLK55. They cancelled my order with regrets.

I have called them again and asked them to try to get the pattern asap. They state they just need someone with a CLK55 to let them measure the seats so they can make patterns.

That's the story.
