Hi,

Just wondering if the boot net / dog guard shown here is standard for the touring??

About to buy a dog guard.. (don't get car for 3 more weeks..)

Thanks!

Looks exactly like the one in my Touring.

Yes it is standard

BUT

It's not a dog guard. It's to stop the load flying through and hitting you on the back of the head in an accident.

Put a dog in there and it will either be chewed to death in 5 minutes or the dog will be through it in 60 seconds as it is not rigid and a dog can squeeze around it (even really big dogs) with no problem.

Buy a proper dog guard if that's what you really need

Cheers for the info

My dog gets excited if someone gets into the car usually, so if its as flimsy as you say then I guess its not what I need
