E Wagon: Recommended Dog barriers?

I have two energetic Australian Shepherds that have Whodini-like skills. Does anyone have experience with a good dog barrier that is not intrusive, easy to install and remove that keeps dogs in the back of a wagon?

Take a Look at the MB Accessories for This

We tried an aftermarket barrier with compression fittings to the floor and ceiling of our van. It was so flimsy that the dogs knocked it over.

Here's the MB divider for the wagon:

I believe that it has specific attachment points that will not allow the divider to be knocked over.

Car should arrive with a cloth net that rises vertically--might not be enough for big dog, of course.

Use the OE barrier..The Net Holds My Rottweilers back..
Also Install a custom mat from K9covers it has saved my W210 interior!
They offer a custom made rear mat..with inserts that can be removed so one can fold the seat down...also order the rear door panel protectors!

K9covers made a rear cover for the Wifes W211 sedan..fits Perfect!
Covers the complete rear seat/carpets..and front seat backs...
then add the rear door protectors... its even Water proof!

Excellent. Thank you for the responses. You all rock. I just got my car today and love it. Drove it about 1/4 mile, parked it in the garage and drove to work in my old car Once I get the dog barrier and associated protectors, the dogs will get a ride. I think they will be happey.
