Octavia MK3 Cargo Barrier?

Are you sure you didn't find anything on Travall? They have quite a good range of cargo barriers there.

Sunroof appears to put the kybosh on barrier

The Fitting Guide (PDF here) shows how it installs. It doesn't appear to touch the roof - I'd say it's worth giving them a call to ask.

I sent them an Email. I will let you know if I hear back.

OK, so the travall cargo barrier arrived about a week after the order. Very impressed with the product and the process of buying and installing it. It was about $228 delivered from the UK.

With a little bit of practice it is pretty easy to remove and install. Build quality seems to be pretty good.



It sits above the cargo blind and has between 1.5cm and 2cm gap around the sides.



It has two legs to support it. The front one sits in the corner of the window resting on the trim (not the window) and the back leg fits in a recess next to the cargo blind. You can take the blind out while the barrier is in place.



There is a flat bar with a threaded top that connects the barrier to the locking loop holds the seats upright. Do NOT tighten this up too much as it can cause the front leg (from the pic before) to bend the trim.



On the bottom of the barrier there is a bar hangs below the main structure and is angled forward. I am not sure what this is for but it can interfere with hook that protrudes above the rear seat. I think the hook is for baby seats attached in the centre portion of the back seat. If you lower and raise the seats, it is possible that the hook ends up behind the bar and the next time you want to lower seats you have to fiddle around to get them down.

My solution was just to remove the hook from the back of the seat.

There are more pics on the travall.com site and the instructions can also be downloaded.

Thanks for the info, i spoke to travall and they said there is no mention of a sunroof version, the only reason they say it wont work on a sunroof model is they assume the roof lining is lower. I don't think it will be lower as the glass doesn't slide into the roof. But i guess i will have to compare it with scraps when i get it.

Looks great, seems to be a fair amount of room above it. I will be getting one if it will fit that is for sure!

So I was reading through the book the other night and it has a section on how to use the cargo barrier which pictured as a roll out design like most euro wagons have.
This is not an optional extra that I can see, why is it in the book and why can you not get it? I will take a picture and post it later for those without the book.
