Cargo barrier: LR/Milford/Haymen?

I've got the "autosafe" cargo barrier in my D3 - easy to remove in just a few minutes if you want to - great bit of kit.
cheers

@ Discojools & Graeme.

There is no barrier that works 2 up so to speak or mounted behind the FRONT seats only.
The air bag curtains can interfere with the barrier when mounted here. Therefore the official line was barriers not to be made/mounted in this position...

Insurance &/or Safety reasons.

Don't know if its true, but I was told the only way you can legally install the barrier behind the front row seats is to remove the second. Row seats. ( not sure why it would be legal to leave the third row in though if this were true. But there is also the curtain airbag issues.

I have heard of someone adapting an auto safe barrier by using extension straps to do this but I didn't actually see the result myself.

I have an Autosafe one and it is fine.

So how do the Autosafe top mounts work, without drilling holes in the trim?

you take off the rearmost/uppermost trim - there is a gap between it and the roof. you drill out two of the existing holes, then screw an extension metal strap in that pokes out between the rearmost trim and the roof trim. does this make sense?

you then screw the two metal extension straps onto the metal straps on the cargo barrier

i can send you the fitting instructions if you want

Thanks Lucas, makes perfect sense. So it mounts to the same spot as the others but goes over the trim instead of through it. Sounds neat, think I'll look at this option next time.

Cheers,
Jon

I don't think that's right, as the Milford barrier for the Pajero goes behing the front seats (it's 2 positions).

Might be the airbag that's the problem.

If it is, it must be new because I certainly had a dual position Milford in my D1

Its the curtain airbags that are the problem, which the D1 didn't have.

Had the Milford Barrier installed in my D4.

Only fits behind second row seats, can use it with cargo blind (although I had to flatten out the top two supports a bit to push the barrier further towards second row seats).
Top two supports fit quite flush with roof, holes are drilled in rear trim. Installer recommended to replace bolts in holes when not in use to look slightly better than 2 open holes in trim.

All up, happy, safer camper
