Guys, I was thinking of a cover on the rear to stop the dogs from coming in the front.
Now, the dalmation isn't a problem as the rear headrests are so high up he can't go over.
The westy Is the problem.
I did one myself in the rover but he managed to find a bloody hole to come in the front.
Is there a standart dog net for the phase 1 v70 which stops even the little mud to go through or
Is it a DIY job to make one up?

I know there holders for the original but I also have the luggage cover in it I don't want to remove.
The aftermarket ones you get of flee bay are crap.
The don't even stop a pillow when it's asleep.

Any ideas or did anyone do his own and have a pic so I have a idea where to start incl what material to use?
Don't want him to get hurt while he is trying to get through.

Thanks

Have you not found the luggage nets concealed in tops of the rear seats?

Nope.
Where would I find that ?
If it is there.
Just had a look but all i seen is a Plastic covering the rear of the seats on top on the rear.
The next is the holes and the luggage cover for it.
Yes the headrests.

I can not find anything there. Sox. Must be one of the models which hasn't that. Bugga.

You can just make it out. I think if you had it you would have noticed.

Yeah that's what aim thinking of but this one don't fit.
I may make my own .

Should be no problem.
Just not sure what to use.
Maybe some old gazebo metal poles for the frame and rabbit fence.
Need to figure out how to get all together.
Got no welder and is aluminium, so not everyone can weld that.
Unless I try well bond. Guess need loads of it and then it gets expensive.

Wood?
A big solid wood plate, cut the inside after the outside diameters fit exactly to put in and get some mesh fence in the hole?
May do the trick.
