Dog Guard

druid · Jul 26th, 2016, 19:12

Ok i have looked and failed to find fitting instruction for the nylon dog guard. Anyone help with where the other bits actually fit? The roof bit i know, there are dimples in the headliner but its the bit by the parcel shelf (black bits) i can't figure. Not got it in hand yet.

Are all the metal bits for the top fitting?

You are missing the bottom bits that bolt on behind the seats.
They would be part of the kit so wouldn't be on the car if you never had a guard fitted.

Mine aren't currently fitted so I can't take a photo.

Out of interest, where do the bottom bits go exactly?

If you fit the metal guard then lower it down, youll see roughly where the brackets need to go. Have a feel for the metal rib along the back of the seat. Then drill the holes in the correct place, screw them down and job done.

Upper is just a case of carefully cutting the roof lining and installing the brackets in the holes in the roof.

Antz, i love the way you say "just cut the headlining" It scares the poop out of me!

But Druid has the nylon dog guard, is it the same process? My last one had the metal guard and this one has the nylon version which I have never used. I assume all the fittings are there, but I've not tried it.

There are captive nuts in behind the carpet.

I think the brackets fit just behind the seats and butt up against the plastic trim so if you line them up you then might be able to find the holes with a small sharp screw driver.
