Dog lover

Any dog lover here? what do you use for seat protection and
interior rear side door panel protection?

I have a 60lbs golden retriever and 20lbs beagles.
I'm just looking for more options from you guys.
I just had 3m clear film installed on the rear entry side sills, and
rear wood panels, but I'm not sure what to use for the door panels?

Thanks!

I have a Gray Cordura Nylon version of that one and it is great. It does not cover the doors.

We use this, but it does not cover the door trim panels.

This works very well, but we use it in our Jeep as we don't let the dogs in either of the Benzes!

I just throw a large bath towel on the seat. It's cheap, it works, it's extremely easy to wash, and when someone needs to sit in the back seat (which is rare) I just pull the towel off and toss it in the trunk.

How do you get on when your dog jumps out of the surf or a muddy swamp after chasing Jack Rabbits ?

Just a word of caution with styles which tuck under the front edge of the seat. We tried a similar style first in our E before we got the Liberty (we call that the "dog's Jeep!). To get any substantial part of the leading edge to tuck under the front of the seat, it is necessary to get the leading edge to unclip upward from its mounting. Upon trying to reinstall it by pushing back down, the clip on the seat part would not fit back into the opening on the raised part of the floor, and was actually bent...not good...new lower seat cushion was needed.

Haha, if you knew my dog you'd know why I'm laughing. Neither one of those things is a problem.

I also use a large thick bath towel (black to match the interior) and tuck it into the seat. Luckily the MB-tex is a very durable material and my dog is very clean.
