cargo barrier install into D2 retain security cover

[dobbo]

Hi guys

I went shopping for a cargo barrier today, nothing hard about that, the problem is I would like to retain the security cover on the D2. Most suppliers in my area just don't want to know about it and say it's not possible one said it is possible if I have it bolted to the top of it's original housing. One supplier says there is a security cover kit to retain it but no - one can show me what it looks like?

Has any one had a kit installed when fitting a barrier?
If so what does it look like?

I thought of just swapping the cover/retaining brackets over from left is right to right is left this would then make the security cover an inch further away from the back seats giving enough room for a cargo barrier. Unfortunately they would only fit if modified slightly with a stanley knife (not particularly fond of that idea just in case it doesn't fit flush)

Yep....hard to find and no-one has it in stock to have a look at it:mad:

All it consists of is two plates which bolt to the cargo barrier. Think of it like a roller blind at home with the flimsy plates screwed to your window frame holding the blind. You have no choice but to run this tacky and poorly engineered system as the cargo barrier's position is about 30mm - 40mm from the back of the rear seat. It will not allow you to run the cargo/security blind in it's original position with a cargo barrier installed.

I finally found a Discovery with one installed out in the middle of Victoria somewhere...the owners thought I was knocking it off as I was being very careful not to set the alarm off :eek:

Honest.......I was just looking, your Honour:cool:

Cheers,
Lyndon.

How does it vary from a D1 roller blind? I have a Milford cargo barrier & left the "blind" in place & it works well. It has side supports, not fixed to the barrier.

Different kettle of fish maybe??

Blind sits almost flush with the back seat (where cargo barrier goes) therefore must be removed to allow installation

:blush: I tell a fib, Mat. After reading your post I had a shufti. More :blush:

What I did was bring it to the rear to miss the barrier & used some expanding anchor fixings in the plastic to hold the blind brackets.

Hi Dobbo
I bought a secondhand D1 cargo barrier for my D2.The only way to get it home was "where it fits and lives".
Ok its not fitted correctly,but will fit.Due to the huge job of having to rip all the plastics out to fit it correctly I have decided to wait till I build a storage/drawer system before its bolted in.
OK it isnt offerig full protection at the moment,but I ensure all the heaviest items are stored against it and secured low.Its providing plenty more protection than nothing at all.

i'm thinking of getting fibreglass items made up identical to original apart from cover mounts at rear. Unfortunately swapping them doesn't work as they are not square but a triagular shape

Andrew, if you mean for the top mountings, for the D1 it's a doddle & just needs small holes cut in the right places & no need to rip the vehicle apart.

I had an installer do mine & it came up safe, neat & tidy.


But I can't comment on the D2 fitting, as I don't know what's involved that's different.

I have a Milford barrier installed in my D2, which came with 2 brackets attached for the security screen to be refitted.
With a young child strapped onto the back seat, it would have to be the best accessory on the car.

I would like to fit my cargo blind too now that I have the barrier.

Looks like Milford make one - see attached..

Looks like just two brackets bolted to the barrier and the blind slots in..
