I feel a bit mean doing this because Roof Box were incredible in that they sent a free replacement clamp and I didn't even have to ask (I was willing to buy a new clamp!). I knocked one star off build qulaity because one of the clamps became jammed (cross-threaded?)after a few months. The design is clever enough to make fitting easy - all we have to do is to turn it round when switching cars to accommodate the differences in rear screen clearance and headrest angles. The perimeter of the barrier is reinforced to provide extra durability and strength.ĭimensions (maximum): 61cm (W) x 74cm (H)īrilliant item, fits a small Peugeot 206 and a Mondeo (we didn't need the detachable top part on either car). Made of durable nylon canvas and mesh, the Kar 9 Soft Barrier fastens securely to the headrest stems with adjustable nylon belts.

The Kar 9 Soft Barrier prevents your dog from getting into the front or rear of your vehicle. We would recommend using the Walky Guard in conjunction with the Mesh Barrier (listed below) if you are using it on the front seats. If you have space above the front seats you can also use this on the front seats. It won't work on cars with raised central seat belt mountings, these will conflict with the lower support bar. Important fitting information: You'll need headrests on the rear seats in order to fit this guard.

Position the WalkyGuard centrally against the back of the rear headrest posts, hook a clamp around one post on each side, and tighten it’s that simple. The WalkyGuard is held in place with only two brackets, well protected to prevent damage to either the headrest posts or the WalkyGuard. It’s a one piece welded construction with no potential for metal on metal vibration, with a black powder-coated finish. being particularly good value for money, it doesn’t impede the normal use of a fixed or rolling parcel shelf / boot blind – that’s a unique feature of a well designed headrest-mounting guard.Īlmost as important in our experience is that the WalkyGuard doesn’t rattle – one of the irritating bugbears of many dog guards. If your car hasn't got adjustable rear seat headrests, this dog guard won't fit - please don't order it!Īs well as fitting almost all vehicles, i.e. Its adjustments for width and height make it suitable for almost all vehicles with rear head rests, and it’s certainly the fastest and easiest guard to fit and remove that we’ve seen – not more than a couple of minutes. WalkyGuard is a new and innovative headrest-mounted universal dog guard. They are also ideal for use on rear wheel drives where there is minimal space between the top of the wheel and the wheel arch. Ladder track chains such as the Polaire GRIP and Spikes-Spider range only put chain over the tyre tread, so are not subject to these restrictions. The good news is that car handbooks usually only refer to "traditional snowchains". Please also check your tyre size - if you buy incorrectly-sized chains they will be either too tight or too loose. You will find this important information in your car handbook - please check this before using your snowchains! Our database is intended to do the basic work for you but, with so many new vehicles and tyre sizes, it should only ever be treated as a guide.

This is usually because there is not enough space between the wheels and the shock absorbers this can be a problem for ordinary SUVs and 4x4s as well as for high performance cars. There are a surprising number of vehicles that cannot use traditional snowchains, the types that put chain on the inside of the wheel as well as on the tread. Why it's important to select the correct vehicle and tyre size
