Boot liner

So we’ve bought the discovery, and now would like to keep it in as good condition as possible. The car has the travail rear guard, and we may (prob will) be adding a divider to contain our Labrador. She does make a mess, and we’d like to keep the rear of the car fresh.

I see there are boot liners, even LR ones, but these don’t go up the back of the second row of seats, or up the sides. There are also cheap boot liners on eBay for £30. Can anyone with a Labrador or other hairy beast recommend a way to keep the boot nice and clean, to minimise vacuuming?

Many thanks

We've got a D3, two Cocker Spaniels and a Hatchbag - it's been great and saves so much time in cleaning over the previous one.

It's quite tough and waterproof so a quick sweep out and a wipe down it's almost as good a new. Makes you realise how much sand a couple of spaniels can pick up off the beach though!

Thanks. Saw both of those. It looks like the benefit of the more expensive one is that it comes with holes for the tie bars which secure the travall dog partition. Assuming the cheaper one doesn’t?

I have one of these: https://www.boot-buddy.com/

Big difference from others is it's semi-rigid and so doesn't require lots of fastening with velcro etc. So it's easy to get in and out when you want to use the 3rd row seats.

Correct goodo, the cheaper one (the one I have) doesn't come with any holes but is simple to fit and remove (when not in use) and does come with a bag to store it in.

+1 for boot buddy. I purchased the twin liners so that when you want to load up the car with all the rear seats down it will cover the whole floor and sides. They just slide inside each other when the rear seats are up. They do rubber matting to ensure pooch doesn't slide around. They also do a cover to protect the inside of the tailgate that slots in easily (magnetic tape) to stop that getting grubby. It's all tailored to fit the Disco exactly.

It's been good enough for our boy

Cheers
Gary

You'd be better off with a cage, not only will it keep the dirt away from the car, but will give your dog protection in the event of an accident.

And if you need to change the wheel at the side of the road and need to get to the spare

I can wind down the spare without disturbing anything. I just cut a hole in my Boot Buddy's floor to allow access ...

Gary, what is the tailgate protector called on the boot buddy site? Bumper protector or tailgate protector?

The tailgate one seems fixed in place and not hinging down with the tailgate

Ukraine 2016 Discovery 4 3.0 SDV6 HSE Auto Corris GreyDiscovery 4

Hi Chopcat

I have both. I'll explain:

My tailgate guard has magnetic strips not poppers so is easy to pull down over the opened tailgate or simply removed. It appears the only tailgate guard available now is one with poppers. I have the deluxe bumper guard also that cover the tailgate carpet when dogs are getting in or when loading stuff. It slides under the main liner so is held in place and protects the carpet. The problem with using thisonly is that it doesn't cover the tailgate when it is closed as it simply concertinas up and flops down.

They are very helpful, so give them a call. Happy to answer any further questions or provide photos of mine in action if you need it.

Cheers
 Gary

I have one (from BB) that's flexible and held in place with velcro. One end goes under the main liner and the other velcros on to the outside end of the tailgate. Yes it concertinas when the tailgate is folded but I've never found that a problem.

Hi Brian

You're right, it's not a problem, it's just that because mine is not attached to the tailgate in any way it simply concertinas down and does not protect the tailgate at all. That's why I have the plastic liner than slots into the open end of the boot liner (as well), The bumper liner being used to protect the tailgate when it is down.
Hope that clarifies.

Cheers
 Gary
