    Sturdy guard
    Fitted this in about 20 minutes… didn’t bother with instruction leaflet… the picture on the box is self explanatory, it’s a sturdy guard for the price and keeps muddy paws off the back seats!

    Light, strong & sturdy enough for a gia
    Really happy with this as my Saint Bernard likes to lean his chin into the grate & even with the strength of him, it doesn’t move out of place. It’s made of good quality, fits perfectly in my Honda, looks neat&performs better than expected

    Sturdy easy to fit dog guard
    Bought this two years ago. Fits my 2015 Vauxhall Astra hatchback. Easy to fit to rear head restraints. Robust and durable. Have taken this in and out on numerous occasions with no problems.

    Excellent Value
    Excellent product. Strong and easy to fit in Skoda Estate. Had a cage in boot before but this is so much easier giving extra room and not having to take dog cage out every time not in use. Would highly recommend this product.

    Does the job
    Budget rack that does the job. Fitted to a Range Rover sport 2009. Bit fiddly to put together but not too bad. All in all very happy with it, it’s keeping my Labrador puppy in the boot. I would say a strong large very determined dog could probably push through one of the side wings, but if you have that sort of dog a properly fitted screwed in rack would be better, but obviously they’re very expensive.

    Brilliant value for money & easy to install.
    Easy to install & doesn’t hinder your rear view. I installed for a weekend away & was going to remove afterwards, but have left it in for convenience & because it looks fine.

    Good, but.
    Good boot seperated, does what it needs to, keeps the dogs from getting over. The clip has since broke but that’s my fault! so needed to tie wrap it in place but otherwise Good.

    Happy custome
    Sturdy and strong. Fits my freelander perfectly. Did secure to the headrest posts with cable ties as others have. Stops my spoilt doggy jumping over the back seats into the front passenger seat. I’m probably happier with this purchase than she is.

    Big gap at the top
    I liked the fitting although the instructions leave a lot to be desired. Once you have figured them out all is good. I do like the look and ease of fitting it. The only problem I have is that I have a bit gap at the top even though the guard is fitted on top of the seats just behind the headrests. I have tried using top and bottom bolt holes and doesn’t make a difference, Anyone has any ideas please let me know – Maybe I have another play another time as I don’t think the dog would be able to get through.

    Looks good
    Quite fiddly to fit but once fixed it looked good.
    One fault I have found is that it doesn’t fit great in the fiat 500L there are gaps on the ends by the window, these were big enough for my escape artist yorkie to get past.
    Had to stuff soft toys in the gap.

    Seems to be adaptable
    The only criticism is that there is a Brand metal label set right in the middle of the unit which block the view in the rear view mirror of any close up vehicle. Should be moved well to one side or omitted.

    Dog guard
    When left on her own my GSD would not stay in the rear compartment of my Macan. I did not need the two outer “wings” so fitting this guard was straightforward. Excellent value for money and the upholstery in my car is now fully protected.

    Quite easy to install, but a bit fiddly.
    I have a Fiesta and just the main part of the Dog guard was sufficient to fit across the back head rests without the two side guards. It was easier to put the one piece together with the clips. Before tightening the screws just make sure it’s in the right place and I used the lowest holes to get the correct height up to the car roof. The shape of the car roof will determine how high to fit it. A good, sturdy guard which stops our small dog getting over the back. (She is secure anyway with a seat belt strap fitted into a seat belt and pulled through the split seating to secure her with her harness) I also use a boot tidy cover and dog bed to keep the boot clean. The rear window gets messy! A good guard for the money.

    Not the best fi
    I bought this to stop one of my dogs jumping up onto the parcel shelf. She is only small but over time I feared the parcel shelf would become weakened and collapse. I could not put this guard in using the brackets supplied as I could not put the parcel shelf in as the brackets were too low and prevented the shelf from fitting in place. It took me over an hour trying to fit it with the 2 side “wings” but finally I got it fitted by using cable ties instead of the brackets. It does the job and you can’t see the cable ties. In fact it looks neater without the 2 brackets!

    Pain To Put Togethe
    Great piece of equipment for the money. But you need three hands to put it together!
    Other than trying to get the screws to do what they are suppose to do, good quality and build for the money.

    Just what I needed
    As I drive a C3 it is the best job for this car and have it in the car about 10mins after I got it. The dog is happy in the back and we know he is safe

    Great product but doesn't fit my ca
    Good quality product. Does not fit 2013 Audi A6 Avant (estate). The 2 side sections cannot be installed due to the curve of the roof. Without these the gap is just too big so dog could get through. Shame because the product appears of good quality.

    No seat climbers in my ca
    Just the trick, to keep the pooches from climbing on the grandchildren when I have them and saves my seats from any doggy travel sickness incidents.
    Sturdy, not movement so far.

    Good for the price.
    Fits my BMW i3 fairly well without having to use the 2 extension panels. Easy to fit, and my Bedlington Whippet can now no longer slobber all over the back seat on the way home.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersDog Guard
    Fits an Audi Q5 (2022 model) with both extensions on and a “square” or two either side. Instructions not helpful but photo guide on earlier review much better. Hard to click the “3 shaped” plastic clips onto main and side frames but once done very steady. I clipped end of side frames so metal end was covered by clip. I also found it easier to screw the bolts onto the hooks first then hook them onto the headrest supports and then tighten them both afterwards for secure fix. Irritating metal name badge now added to the middle of the main frame which isn’t end of the world but sits in the middle of the rear view mirror.

    Good. Sturdy
    Good quality guard for the boot on car. Attached to headrest using plastic clips but it keeps the guard solid and sturdy. One of the clips broke after 5 months when I temp removed it. Emailed the company and they said they would send me replacements. 2 days later I received 6 new clips. Cannot fault them at all.

    Fits Merc GLE with small changes to installatio
    I wasn’t expecting much due to the cheaper price and yes it’s not the sturdiest looking but it will do the job. I found instructions easy to follow and did 90% by myself, just needed extra pair of hands for actual installation.
    Comes with 3 lengths of screws but even the longest didn’t fit when following instructions. I have fitted it the opposite way round with the vertical bars on the headrest side. Was still fiddly as the cross bars got in the way but managed to make it work.
    There is a gap at the top and I imagine if you have a particularly boisterous or determined dog, they will get through, destroying everything in the process.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersGreat product, awful fitting instructions
    I don’t know if I’m an idiot or not, I probably am, but the fitting instructions are really useless. The guard itself is great, it’s really sturdy once fitted – I just was very glad another reviewer had left detailed fitting instructions I could follow instead.

    Does the job for a low price
    It was a little fiddly to install without an extra pair of hands but seems sturdy enough now it’s in place. It’s a decent fit for my 2006 Honda Jazz. Great for the low price.

    Golden Review Award: 695 From Our UsersFantastic product, it does what it's supposed to
    Fantastic product, it does what it’s supposed to, the only reason I gave it 4 starts is the instructions are not that clear, it is quite easy to set up once you have figured it out tho, so to make it easier for everyone else I have uploaded numbered pics and this is how to set it up:
    1-pic of the box
    2-what you get in the box, the main rack and the 2 sides, the holders and the screws
    3-the car boot, I have a Vauxhall Mokka, the dimensions on my boot are;
    width – 1001
    length -745
    height – 485
    capacity – 326
    4-ok, so here is where we start to attach it to the headrests, centre the main rack on the boot or the car, then attach the poles with the holes facing down and out, make sure they are aligned with one of the headdress metal poles.
    5-attach the side bits with the “3shaped” plastic bits, you should only need 4 attachments, however it would depend on how wide your boot is.
    6-now choose he screw size they fits best, depending on the distance between the guard and the metal poles, I had to use the longest Ines, however the medium one would have done to job too.
    7 and 8- now once you have align the poles with the headrest go ahead and start screwing the hook.
    9-repeat on the other side !
