GL320 CDI - Obsidian Black
Dog Guard - Load Partition

Hi All
I have an 09 GL320 and I am looking for a dog guard or load partition.
The net one that came with the car does not meet the sides of the vehicle, and won’t keep Kodi (our pooch) in at all.

MB here says they are only made for the ML and not the GL.

Any suggestions?

Same problem with my ML. That net can keep big dogs at the rear compartment, not small dogs/or cats.

They do a nice 'hard' partition for the ML (at least in europe) as well as a 'three compartment' version. But neither is available for the GL

They could reuse the same hard points on the GL, but choose not to.

snapshot of the ML version attached
Where as the same page on the GL shows only Net partition

Check out Kustom Krates. They built a custom GL crate for my two German Shepherds. They angled the sides to take advantage of all available space with the third row down. Both dogs are 100 lbs plus and can stand up and have total visibility. Material is aircraft aluminum and can withstand any accident. They can make anything for dog travel.

Thanks for the Tip.
In the end I have bought a conventional circa 90cm K9 crate.
Plenty of room for One Samoyed and a few bags of clobber

Still pretty miffed an MB...
