Had a bit of a van swap round.
Vauxhall Corsa. Same as a car but no back seats and a metal half wall thing behind front seats.
Old van has a guard that fixes to the metal divider kind of thing, from that it attached somehow to the roof.
I need to find the same kind of thing but this van has no attachment bits to fit one.
All I’m finding are ones that fit onto the seat headrests, designed for a car boot and back seats.
I don’t think that would really work. If both seats were level and the drivers forwards enough for me to drive they would be able to get into the rear footwell (in theory, maybe they wouldn’t bother)
I suspect the little ones could just get through the seats by the hand break aswell.

Google’s not finding me much.

Something like the EUYuan Car Pet Barrier would stop dogs from slipping through the handbrake area

Perhaps that could be used together with something like a Trixie Angled car grid

Or what about a Tumfuzz car guard, it's attached to the headrests, but the front seat's headrests, not the back seat ones

The UK company Barjo makes bespoke dog car guards, but when I did a search on Vauxhall Corsa Van they only had a behind the front seat option for Van's from 2007-2014 which looks as if it have folded up back seats, but perhaps you could contact them if you're interested

Yes! Thank you! I knew I was going wrong somewhere as nothing at all was coming up.
They are a bit expensive! 🙄
I’ll have a proper search after work today.
FL’s middle idea may also be worth a look perhaps.

I don’t think the head rest type would work, I do have one from an old car so could try it just to rule it out properly, Im almost certain it won’t work though

I got a generic guard from Halfords and cable tied it to my front headrests. There’s enough play to adjust the seats. I do always have my back seats down though and the headrests pulled forward, with a hammock thing filling the gap. I’m a Heath Robinson devotee.
