United Kingdom 2012 Range Rover Autobiography Black TDV8 Java Black
Retractable dog guard

Hi… I have bought a retractable dog guard complete with side fittings for my 2012 4.4 TDV8.
Unfortunately it looks like the side fitting will not fit on the window ledges.
The o/s has a black plastic electrical box underneath the plastic cover you need to remove from the trim and both sides the load cover securing clips do not fit underneath the metal brackets on the side fittings.
The 2 securing bolt holes are there each side and I was thinking of drilling the clip rivets out to allow the brackets to fit and relying of the other 2 clips to secure the load cover.
It’s just the black box drivers side.
Question… anyone fitted the retractable dog guard to a late model L322 and what is the black box and can it be removed and fitted underneath the side panel instead of on top of it.
Many thanks for any replies and advice.

New update. On closer inspection even though the side brackets would fit the hole the actual parcel shelf clips on the dog guard brackets are further back so the parcel shelf would not fit.
Have to return it now for a refund.
Why did they change it ??? Or at least have made one to fit later models.

I took the retractable luggage net out my TD6 when I got my TDV8. I just assumed it would clip in. Alas, like you, found there were no side mounts for it in the later car, even though the brackets are there on the roof….. I kept an eye out on the bay of e for some different side trim but it’s pretty expensive. So it’s still sat in my garage, over 7 years later.

Pity.
