    Cargo Net for D3?

    Hi All,

    New to this forum, and a new to D3 Ownership as well. Got a 2nd hand TDV6 SE three weeks ago, and am just loving it.

    I was looking to install a cargo barrier, but was told that being a 7 -Seater that is an illegal mod. I'm not sure if pulling the rear seats out is legal - but I don't want to do that anyway.

    I am therefore looking for a way to make sure that what is in the back stays in the back.

    I figured some sort of cargo net that I can attach to the tie down points in the back when I'm loaded up is an answer.

    Does anybody use anything like this? Any suggestions as to type etc?

    thanks

    BSM

    Perfectly legal to fit one - LR UK have a factory "dog guard" you can buy on line or you can get a Milford one from Opposite Lock etc

    I've just had a factory dog guard fitted to my D4. It's a very neat piece and installation was easy using all of the factory bolt points.
    However, you will not be able to use the 3rd row as the barrier won't allow the seats to pull up. It's an easy removal/reinstallation if you realy have to anyway.
    I had to take mine out to put in the cargo blind and reinstall it. Wasn't too hard at all. $580 fitted at Adelaide's Solitare service centre.

    Or Autosafe.

    Have had Milfords and Hayman Reese in past and they are all good. However went with Autosafe in the D4 following recommendations on here. Advantage is its easier to fit and you don't have to cut holes in the roof trim.

    Cheers,
    Jon

    Cargo net

    i've gotta factory LR one in my 7 seater - you just have to take it our when you want 7 seats. Otherwise have a 5 seater and the dogs go in the back.

    I'd like to optionally have just a top half to allow access behind the 2nd row seats for everyday use.

    Graeme, Autosafe make half height one for those that have drawers. These are custom made to fit with the drawer system in each car. perhaps they would consider making one for someone without drawers.

    I'm sure I have seen somewhere a barrier that provided access through the full barrier via removable section/gate. I'll see if I can find it.
    Cheers,

    It was Ritters in Melbourne who told me it was illegal. They would not even consider an install.
    Strange that a well known Landy dealer would hold that view.

    I checked on VicRoads and there's no mention of restrictions for Cargo Barriers so I suppose you're right. I think I'll check with the insurance company as well, if they say its Okay, and won't use it as an excuse for non-payment in the event of a claim, then it's a non-issue

    The better ones usually have a Australian standards mark on them.

    I think the person from Ritters must have had something else on their mind.

    But then again, if you had someone in the rear, it would be a bit harder to get them out in an emergency, so maybe that's where Ritters was coming from.

    If no one in the rear, its the first interior accessory that should be fitted if you are carrying loose gear in your rear.
