Alternate W210 dog guard

[tfb]

Hi there
I have the standard roller blind in my W210 estate with the pull up netting, however my wonderful, beloved, pain in the backside Labrador can get her head round the side of the net and has eaten both rear seat belts.

She ate the 3rd row seatbelts in two trips out, but I'm not too worried about them as I never use the extra seats, but I will have to replace the rear seat seatbetls and soonish.

Before I do, I am going to have to replace the dog guard with a rigid version, does anyone have any experience of after-market types?, are there any which are custom made to fit tightly in a W210? as if there is any gap around the side then I'll loose another set of seatbelts to her jaws

Regards

Richard

You will have to replace all belts before the MOT as it will fail for the 3rd row belts.

Dogs shouldn't go in cars...

Genuine dog guards aren't big money.

or remove/cut off the belts and leave the seats hidden..... if he never uses the seats anyway....

would they be tested if the seats were not installed in the upright pos anyway? i know they dont test belts that are used for childseats, so maybe fit two of these using the "dodgy" belts and they wont be tested and therefore pass?

disclaimer! this is obviously only acceptable if you really dont use the seats!!
