First of all Suggs has your disco got 6th & 7th seats if so its easy. The creamy coloured plastic brackets fit onto the grab handles just below the alpine lights.
If it hasn't then you need to cut some holes  :( the templates are fo this. the right hand one lines up with the alarm senser.
The dog guard then hands on these brackets and you need to use the dark coloured brackets to secure it to the trim at the bottom. where you will need to mark & drill some holes.

Good luck  :wink:

thanks for the reply, mines a 5 seater :cry: so will have to cut a hole, once the holes cut what do you screw into though, is there a fixing hidden behind the pannel, also theres only one template, so how do i mark the other side, or isit a case of doing one side then holding the guard in position so it looks right on the other side then marking it..

cheers

Behind the trim is a threaded hole in the metal panal. Which you can locate with a spike before you cut the hole. then cut your hole around this to the shape of the brackets.
The template is simply reversed for the other side.
