Default Dog in back

When rears seats are folded, there is an 8 inch gap between the folded seats and the front seats. Afraid dog front legs will fall into opening. any ideas on how to fill in that gap?

depends on how creative you are and how elaborate you want to make it.

you could buy this http://www.homedepot.ca/product/whit...x-4-x-8/941132

then cover one side in felt or carpet (go dumpster diving behind a carpet store, they often throw out perfectly good pieces, i once made a cat tree for next to free), and put some velcro on the other side.

cut to what shape/size you think will work best,

then just lay the "board" on the folded down seats, with it over hanging the gap.

Voila

Good idea. Just make sure that you sand off any sharp corners and edges so that they do not damage your interior.

Must be short. I always had to move the front seat forward to get the back seat to lay flat. Haha
