Cargo Barrier - D4

[mickyd24969]

Hi,

Has anyone purchased a genuine LR cargo barrier for a D4? If so, are they easy to fit and remove?


Thanks,

Looking at it, but it is a long queue.

I have been looking at the half barriers fitted top drop of drawer sets. May be a better prospect.

Are the genuine barriers approved in Oz yet? Last time I checked (some time ago) they told me they weren't.

Ordered one through Trivetts in Sydney..took about two weeks to come from UK.To be fitted next week.On the surface and looking at the fitting instruction it will be a simple fit and an easy removal.

JohnH, do you have a part number?
We have been told the ones in the parts catalogue are not compliant to Aus.
The part number should be a "RAA???" number as this has then been designed for the Australian Market (RAA-Rover Australia Accessory)

Cheers

I had also heard they weren't compliant in Oz.

x 2 for the part number please John.

Any reason why a D3 cargo barrier won't fit?
4x4 intellegence did one I thought?

CaverD3,
I also dont see a problem witht he D3 version fitting, but i do question the one that John has ordered. If the person he ordered it from says it is in the catalogue, then i would take it as a UK version as the catalogue (even tho' it is an Australian release catalogue) does not show the RAA version for the Barrier & Tow kits as it is a known that LR do there own thing with these 2 items.

It's been a while since anyone has posted about cargo barriers and seeing I'm considering getting one I wanted to see what the latest advice was;
What after market brands are available?
What are the pros and cons of other brands compared to the LR product (I assume LR have one available for the D4?) Are they easy to install and remove? Which is the easiest?
Price???
Thanks Marty

Hi MartyJB,

Do a search. This subject has been debated at length on other posts recently. Milford make a barrier for the D3. It fits into the D4 without issue. I recall posting the part number on another thread. The LR barrier is/was made by Hayman Reese. Being an LR part, it is bound to be twice the cost of the other options.

This outfit make a barrier for the D3 - looks pretty good.

I have the Autosafe fitted. It is a D3 version (I'm not aware of a D4 version). All works fine. Ive also used this as the basis for mounting a shalf system for the load space.

First attempt at uploading photos so hope it works:(

Couple of other threads on this, one recent one from Dangermousehouse, "another cargo barrier question," or something like that.

Hayman Reece make the OEM barriers for the D3 - part number RAA559 - I got one when I bought my D3 - 60kg rating and allows side airbag deployment (many don't). $800 option on new vehicle. Hope that helps!

A PM reminded me that I haven't posted a follow-on to this question.

I looked at the genuine LR cargo (i.e. dog) barrier, but ended up going with the Milford one as it looked a bit more sturdy and is rated for a 60kg load (per item). Have had it for a few trips now and am very happy with it - not that I have exercised its full potential :)

We tend to take it out of the car between trips so that we can use the third row of seats for the school run and it takes a little bit of fiddling to get in and out, but it isn't too difficult once you get used to it - it only takes 5 minutes or so.

I can recommend the 4x4 Intelligence product and service - a quality product that was supplied with a small emergency hammer.

I sourced a cargo barrier from 4x4 Intelligence which was well made and easy (but fiddly at times) to install.

Despite the instructions being absolute garbage - like a cartoon drawn by a blind man before being photocopied 83 times - the hardest part being squaring up the small holes required to be made in the upper rear trim.

There are no rattles at all and it will take about 5 mins to remove and reinstall the 2nd time around (although I think that I'll leave it in as it looks good!).

Cheers,
RickO

FYI this is the Autosafe barrier.
