Dog Guard Vs Head Restraints

[Nitram]

Hello everyone,

I have a query regarding the compatibility of dog guards in my 2004 hatchback.

I currently have a universal type guard fitted (tubular steel, not mesh), which does the job but means that the rear head restraints have to be removed. This is due to the offset between the top of the tailgate and the back of the seats causing the guard to slope forwards into the headrest 'space'. It also means that I cannot have the parcel shelf in place, which is obviously not required when the dog is in, but would be useful to have at other times.

At the moment I am converting the car every weekend, and as we have a young baby my wife has to ride in the back seat with no head restraint.

Is there any product, made by Toyota or otherwise, that will fit permanently in place and allow for the headrestraints and parcel shelf to fit also?

Thanks in advance

yes they do a dog guard. i had one when i had my hatch and now it fits the estate. headrest stay in place as does the parcel shelf/cover. only problem is the cost. if i remeber it was £70 ish.
