Dog proofing E70

Post by Steve Blackdog » Sat Mar 15, 2014 1:36 pm

Hi Folks

I am just in the process of moving from the E53 forum to the E70 forum!  I have traded my old E53 for a nearly new E70 :)

We have two big dogs, who like to shed hair and mud wherever they go!

We want to get a cover that is sturdy and not too slippery (is so the dogs don't skid around in the boot).  I have seen the BMW part on BMW Direct's ebay store

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/190704685042? ... EBIDX%3AIT

It looks a little tacky in the small picture and I can't find any product details.

There is a reasonable looking product at UK custom covers:

http://www.ukcustomcovers.com/collectio ... rds-models

that is half the price of the BMW one.

There's also the
Hatchbag product

And for really smart pricey jobs, there's OTT - by far the most expensive

Does any one have any experience of these?

Also do people fit the OEM BMW dog guard

or are there better ones on the market, such as the Barjo for a similar price:

I am looking forward to getting to know you all over here on E70!
All the best

Steve

I bought the UKcustomcovers liner and the quality and fit is awesome..  it takes a little while to prep the plastic surfaces to stick the velcro to, but once its in, it follows all the edges and recesses of the entire boot/cubby hole area.

Plus i like the fact it has a flap to protect the tailgate from our Ridgeback's claws, and the 60/40 split-seat function for when i carry long items to the tip.

Personally, I would defo buy again.
