Do Travall dog guards fit all Mini Countryman generations?
Yes, we manufacture guards for the R60 (2010-2016), F60 (2017-2020 and 2020-2023), and current U25 (2023 onwards) generations. Each guard is generation-specific, so you'll need to select the exact year range that matches your Countryman when ordering.
Does my Mini Countryman need the storage compartment pack for the dog guard to fit?
Yes, Travall guards for all Countryman generations require the storage compartment pack with lower lashing loops fitted to your vehicle. The guard uses these factory mounting points for secure installation, so check your boot for these loops before ordering.
Will a dog guard fit in a 7-seat Mini Countryman?
No, Travall guards are designed for 5-seat Countryman models only. The guard fits behind the second row of seats, and the different boot dimensions in 7-seat versions mean it won't install correctly.
Can I use a boot divider with my Countryman dog guard?
Yes, Travall boot dividers attach directly to Travall dog guards to create separate compartments in your boot. This lets you carry shopping, luggage or equipment alongside your dog, with the divider sliding to different positions depending on how much space you need for cargo.
How does the Travall tailgate work with the Countryman guard and divider?
The tailgate attaches to the boot divider (not directly to the guard), creating a full-height barrier from floor to roof. This prevents dogs from jumping over the divider into the cargo area, making the system useful if you're carrying items that could tempt or harm your dog.
Will the parcel shelf still fit with a dog guard installed in my Countryman?
Yes, the guard is designed to work with the factory parcel shelf in place. You can leave the shelf fitted to maintain rear privacy and prevent loose items in the boot from becoming visible or distracting you while driving.
Does the dog guard affect the Countryman's panoramic sunroof operation?
No, the guard mounts behind the rear seats in the boot area and doesn't interfere with the sunroof mechanism or operation. Your sunroof will open and close normally with the guard fitted.
Can I fold the rear seats down with the dog guard installed?
Yes, you can fold the rear seats while the guard remains fitted. This gives you a flat load area from the guard to the back of the front seats, useful when you need to carry longer items but still want the guard in place as a barrier.
