Anybody done anything to protect the door panels for a dog riding partner? I have a husky I take with me a lot in the car. She'll stand on the arm rest head out the window. The weird armrests on the mav im afraid shes gonna slip off a lot and just wind up standing on the power window switch. Lol. In my pathinder if she stands on the switch to long I have to turn the car off and on to reset if I forget to use the window lock. Lol

She sounds like a fun companion. My cat is a pita in the car.
I'll live with it okay but I'm not a big fan of that inside door handle. Should have been switched around to make it more ergonomic. Anyhow there's not much to attach to without major defacing. I think I'd get a piece of 1/8th" inch lexan and form it so it sticks in the window slot and follows the door down and attach a shelf for her to stand on. But I'll bet your problem isn't unique and there's products out there just for that. Do a web search.

Keep the dog in a duffle bag. Problem solved.

Gotta think outside the box in these difficult times.
Hmmmm. I could try that with the cat.

Thats not a bad idea.. She is a fun dog to take out. Cracks me up the way she hangs out the window!!

Have a Great Pyrenees.
I found these on Amazon:
Not sure if they make them but they show others that will fit. I used the ones that measure 27" across.

These might work too:


This is the hammock I use.




I use boxes and a small cooler to extend the floor between the front and back seats since my do is a very large dog. I also bought a commercial door mat from Home Depot to place on top of the seats so he would not scratch the surface if the hammock ever tears.

All is pretty sturdy. Takes me 10-12 minutes to remove or reinstall everything whenever I need to take passengers in the back.

Im looking at similar products now. Ill prob use something like this till I come up with something that gives her a place to stand without damaging anything. I also had all the windows tinted so anything that goes in the window track will most likely scratch and damage the tint. So thats out. Lol
