Plus given that its common for the tailgate to fail to open when the latch wears as it gets older it is a good idea to be able to have a crawl through area in the lower part of the barrier just in case.Quote:

Hey Stray Dingo, does your half height cargo barrier have a frame to mount it to the floor or are the lower mounts at top-of-seat height? Could you post a picture of it installed?Quote:

They are the best ones one the market right now. Although the shipping to Australia is quite expensive.

By the standard they only need to meet "...60kg impacts at a force equivalent to that experienced in a 48kmh frontal crash..." so watch your speed and weight of objects in the rear. Satisfy yourself that what you intend to fit meets your requirements.
Does anyone have photos of an Autosafe barrier installed in their vehicle.
Both wide shots and closeups of the mounting locations? My father in law has just fitted one (mesh on top only) to his WK2 Jeep and it looks great.
Looking at the web site, while they call them cargo barriers, the description, fitting instructions, FAQs all refer to them as dog barriers. No indication of any standards (even British) that they may adhere to.Quote:

I've installed the LR "dog guard" it is sold in Europe as a cargo barrier as I understand it, but doesn't meet AS. It's very easy to install and bolts in/under all existing bolts. I agree with rufusking in regard to its purpose - I only use it for my annual camping trip and stack relatively light stuff against it. Additionally everything is packed in tight so nothing can move - it doesn't need to take a 60kg impact at 48km/hr. Anyway it suits my purpose, I'm happy with it.
I think the way how you actually call the product doesn't necessarily describe how it can be used. There is no doubt that it can be used as a dog barrier as well.Quote:
