Mine also folds up so takes less space if it's out for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackmagic Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 We have a tailgate from here http://www.dogcages.uk.com/tailgates.html Not cheap, but it is very solid and securely fixed without drilling any holes. The top fixings are like cups that fit over the rim round the top of the boot opening and then it is secured by extending the legs. We have had it for several years, in three different cars, with no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranirottie Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 thank you,thats exactly what I need. I dont suppose you have any idea of the prices? It doesn't give any on the site.x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackmagic Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 It is so long since we got ours I can't remember, but the price would be out of date now, anyway. They were very friendly and helpful people, so give them a ring for a quote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a gut feeling when I couldn't make a Paypal payment and it seems my instincts were right - really pleased I didn't order anything off him!

If so, there is a tailgate that doesn't need screws on agilitynet. It says it fits a 2003 model. I don't know if the new one is different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

collies r best Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Anyone thinking of using dog travel products should read this first http://www.champdogsforum.co.uk/board/topic/112440.html#fp I'm sorry i posted about the dog travel site, i had no idea what was going on. I found the site when looking for a tailgate and as i said i did think about ordering one but luckily found a 2nd hand one instead. If i'd known i wouldn't have given details on here. Ingrid, well spotted and thanks for warning people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
