My Milford Barrier bolts into totally separate mounting points & was installed by an Authorised Milford Installer.

ok lets try againe, here are some pics, the one of my little man is because he wouldnt get out of the way if i didn't take it !!!
but anyway as you can see the top mouts line up w the rear baby eat mounts and and the bottom screws into the mout of the cargo blind mount holes, its more like dog barrier than a cargo barrier but im not going to carry anything heavy up there


what do u guys think


cheers

No way mate, make a full frame and bolt it on the floor !
10 kg cargo ej. which is a box with some food @ 60 km*h can make a lot of damage.
I bolt the frame on the floor and is secured on the cargo rack and the rack is bolted on the floor.
Do not take any risk specially with your kits on board.
With your cargo barrier I only will carry the sleeping bags and other things soft but then again one day you need to carry more stuff and then what ? push the limits?
Cheers

yhea i know what your saying i put into the car to show u guys what i ment it was with the truck when i got it i was wondering what he was thinking and thought it might have some merit ???? , so y do u think he would have had it one like that???

I recall a case a few years ago where a bloke had a TV set in the back. Had a collision, it moved forward & crushed his little girl in her seat belt.

Personally I don't even like the 2 x rear kid's seats & have always thought it was not a good LR idea. That area could become someone else's crumple zone in the event of a rear ender.

Raises another point. Can you legally have kids behind a barrier with the only access from the rear? Rear ender, how do they get out in a hurry, especially with a fire?

see below

cargo barrier install into D2 retain security cover


The plastic covered cardboard covers on each end are screwed into position with 2 screws

If you can get a mould made up fibreglass or any other composite versions can be made up and all that is required is to relocate the mounting gulley back by 1 - 1.5 inches for a factory looking install

yhea i dont think im stupid enough to let the kids sit in the back the seat are there and im not taking them out as there worth nothing to sell thats if someone would buy them, so im leaving them there

im not leaving it in there anyway i put it into see what u guys had to say about the thing and if it was a good idea or not "and the general concenes is that it is not "


cheers

Here is a view of one side of the top mounting in my cargo barrier. There is no way that will allow a kit or an adult at the back of the cargo barrier.
If you need extra space get another car or a trailer
