Nah - prefer cats :rolleyes: I can leave em at home.

Sold the ute! Mind you I do approve of the replacement.

Head to the Warehouse or similar and shout the dog a nice rug for the new car.

All the farmer's utes have them, you can also get them for farmbike and quad bike seats. So, Farmlands etc? Or dealers as the dealer who might fit them new....although we don't.

Thought about one of those plastic covers but the noise would be annoying at best....somehow the bastards hair seems to work through a rug as in the wee mitsi,doesnt matter in that though.Yep utes replacements a good un....few things need doing ie remove orrible door edge protectors and wank KW stickers.BBS rims are divine.

Yep,thing has had some work but 330kws :tugger:Door trim things are easy enough to get off but a fair amount of elbow grease to remove the residue left behind.

Local supermarket should carry a product called Desolvit - works a treat on sticky residue like that - spray, leave for 5 mins or some and wipe off - repeat as required. $10 for a bottle. A disturbing number of used for it around the house!

Won't hurt it. Citrus based - the car will even smell better after. I've used it to remove tar, stupid factory warning stickers (Honda - smack on the tank - wear a helmet .....).

Hi Mike,

I had some seat covers made for my wee 4X4 Toyota Town Ace by these guys: http://www.ruggedvalley.co.nz/index.html Worth a look?

They fucked mine up but I do think they are better than that and the covers might be exactly what you want/need. Cheers, John.

We recently bought a Commodore Wagon for the same reason. Kids, Mastif x and a Red nose dont fit on the back seat.

Sometimes Peter Keown has those canvas seat covers in for fitting to their Utes - that's where I saw them - OK for more popular models.

They just could not get their heads around my specific model! :brick: Still using them and they would be good if they had got them right! :facepalm:

You can get "picnic" type rugs which have a textured rubber backing on the underside. One of those should stop the dog hair working through.

Nice car. Should get a few years out of that.

Yep, DeSolve-It is brilliant. Have been using it for years with great results and it does'nt harm anything. I get it from Bunnings.
As for the dog hair, just get an old blanket and cover the back seat with it whenever you are travelling with the dog on board.
Then take it out and keep it in the boot when you are'nt using it.:niceone:

Black Duck. Brother in law has them for rear seat covers in a Ranger ute. Be good for a dog, a bit rough for some back seat bikini action though.

Rubber boot liner and open the hole in the middle seat so the dog can stick its head through from the boot.
