I am aware that my dog guard is not the right one for my 1997 940, however, I've been using it for 20 years and the fact that it is longer has never given me any problem.
I will find the proper way to fix it to the rear seat, actually the only possible position to anchor it, is the one you see in the picture in my first post.

The reason why I came to the forum is because I cannot find anywhere in VIDA the same dog guard I have, and I am sure the original owner had it on his 940 1994.
As I said to Laird Scooby, the right P/N for the dog guard 1997 is 9166501, which is also the number you see in the attached Pdf you have kindly provided.

Actually, I cannot even find a dog guard in VIDA before 1995, usually they are in group 85 as 'Safety Net', but I cannot see anything in that or any other area before 1995.
Weird.

Anyways, thank you for taking the time to help.

Regards,
Alex

Hi Alex,

Try this pic, found on an ebay sale of a 1986 740/760 estate sales brochure:



The wire mesh is diagonal as opposed to horizontal as on yours, but the frame is the same.
I would guess that the guard was originally from a 745 before being fitted to your friend's 940. It would have been a perfect fit on his 940 as the body and seats were the same as the 745.
Volvo probably changed the design to thicker horizontal bars to improve safety and it may be that these guards share the same part number (6820 337-1).

Hi All,

As promised, I am posting some pictures of the job I did with the dog guard.






I just used double sided adhesive for the fingers on the back seat, there is no need to use screws as the dog guard stays up most of the time.
When it is down, most likely it is because the boot is fully loaded, therefore it stays there anyhow.
Also, while driving and it is down, there is no vibration at all and it is not touching the rear seat on the sides, which was my main concern.

Overall, I am satisfied with the job.

Thank you very much for your help, you have been amazing!

Regards,
Alex
