[MENTION=36995]DrVolkl[/MENTION] Any pics of it loaded to see how much it sags?

I don't have any atm... but you can tighten it as much as you want to keep it pretty darn taught. The net material itself isn't too stretchy so I can't imagine it will sag much at all.

Only trouble I had is when I dropped one of the C shaped metal clamps down into the body of the truck... lost forever. I didn't have a good grip on it when I was drilling it into the body. Luckily Amazon came to the rescue. It's pretty easy install, just take your time.

My dog enters the vehicle from the rear lift gate. I have the 2nd row folded down and she lays on a pad on top of the seats.

I'm interested in this full height Raingler divider, but I want to use carabiners to unclip the 2 top hooks so she can jump over the net when entering/exiting.

Anyone think that won't work? From the photos, it looks like the top straps have to be tensioned all the way. I'm worried if I add carabiners, the top won't be tensioned because the reach will be longer.

Thoughts?

So funny that you mention it, because I did this exact thing. It works, but it DOES sag at the top and it bothered me a lot. Honestly, the net is super easy to install and thread, it wouldn't take more than about 15 more seconds for you just to dethread the top two points to let her in, then tighten them back up once she's up front.
I have 3 dogs, 2 that ride up front and one who's too rambunctious to have multiple window options who rides in back. I usually just avoid taking the net down by letting the two who ride up front in through the side doors (I have tube steps so they've gotten good at using them) and rear load the big guy in back.

No way man. Look at another company and solution for your needs. Mine is setup correct using their materials and it sags like crazy. Worse over time. It’s less a barrier now and more a cargo net. If you use a quick release solution like you mentioned, you are gonna be disappointed in the results. Update ya what you find. I am curious.

Thanks for the info. Also didn’t realize there was any drilling.

Sounds like something IS wrong. the standard material doesn't stretch over time. The MIL-SPEC version won't even stretch if wet. the only thing that could have some stretch is the small amount contoured to the D rings and a simple retight after a month should solve that forever. Maybe we made one slightly larger or send too long of mounting hardware, don't know but on it to solve if you get ahold of us. We've had these out for years and there have been some updates. We have a Lifetime Warranty so just reach out. We wouldn't be here if we didn't build and make it right.

Mine only sags when my wife has messed with it. Also Raingler is a stand up company. If yours is having issues, send them pics I bet you end up with a new net.

I like mine. When we need to haul a bunch of junk the net is easy to take down and get out of the way.

Any feedback on the soft dog barrier behind the second row?
2010 - Newer Toyota 4Runner 5th Gen (N280) Behind 2nd Row Seats Upper – Raingler

Also, any group buy plans? I missed the summer one by maybe half a day.

That is one that we updated and made tighter to the sides recently so there has only been one review posted unfortunately. We have a quality and fit 30 days if you want to give it a shot yourself on the newest version.

Probably won't have any GB real soon. We are a pretty small shop and about the time we recover from the holiday rush, tax refunds get issued (hopefully this year on time, right?). *We do offer Military, LEO and emergency responder programs, if any apply just get ahold of us here.

Steel Disconnect Anchors – Raingler

Awesome! I suspect these will work better than carabiners for tension, but I've concern about what kind of force they'll take. Frankly, my interest in the net is to prevent my dog from flying out the back window if we're rear-ended.

These hooks are crazy strong. I could use them to do pull ups on a strap sewn on. The roof anchor bolts would rip out first but that's why we use up to 8 points (depending on barrier net) to spread the load. :usa2:

the trick is to mark the spot drill a pilot hole then use the self tapping.

i think you might have set it up wrong. My net on the ceiling stays tight quite long. If you use it, you might need to tighten it once in a while but no sag.
