Hi all
I've had a search of the forum's archive but not found much of an answer yet.
I have a 2009 Alhambra - one of the last of the first generation body. With a large family we regularly fill most of the seats so I'm trying to make best use of the small boot; I have a roof box too but I'm still after a little more space. The problem is that the rearmost 2 seats don't form much of a barrier, so it's not particularly safe to fill the boot up with lots of stuff. I think there are two options though open to others:
1. Get a dog guard to run floor to ceiling, so we can fill the boot without worrying about stuff shooting forward in an emergency stop. Trouble is, I can only find dog guards made for going behind the middle 3 seats. Does anyone know of one suitable for the back 2 seats - or where I might get a custom one?
2. Install some additional tie down loops around the boot including the ceiling (there are only two at the base of the side walls just now) and hook a cargo net to secure items. Not sure whether a regular garage would be the right place to do that or if there is a cheaper place - advice wanted!
One other thing, while considering fitting additional hooks, I had a look under the lining on the ceiling and there is some kind of equipment there, it looks like a pump of some kind. Anyone know what that is?
Thanks...
