Title: Dog guard question
Post by: winchman on August 02, 2007, 10:33:29

Dog guard If I fit one can I still use the rear load blind?
Any one got one?

Just fitted one in mine but had to put a nut and a couple of washers
on the hand wheel bolt otherwise it pokes to far through and hits the
end of the luggage cover.

You insert riv-nuts just behind the seat catch, there's Accessory fitting instructions on here under Document Type.

If you follow the instructions to the letter then no. However, a small alteration means the load cover will still fit. Have a look here (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/stage1v8/TechnicalDogGuard.htm) for how I did mine.

i purchased one from jl services, it cost around £45.00 no drilling req, just slots in the holes of the roller blind and and you have 2 brackets and wing nut type things that push against the the panels to keep it secure. i have a dalmatian who jumps up all the time and he cant budge it and he is not small for a dal.blind is not effected either 2 mins to fit  :wink: [/b]

Mine was an easy fit someone had fitted one before so my holes and riv-nuts were already there  :lol:

purchased one (from Paddocks I think) - slots in and uses 2no 'thumb wheel' arrangements to hold it in place at the top. Works a treat and can still fit load cover (if I wanted to)

Mine isn't too secure. How do the riv nuts work?

As already said, i got one from Paddocks and it drops in the load cover screw fixing holes, and yes, you can still use the load cover with it.
