Fitment & Compatibility

The WeatherTech Pet Barrier 8APB01 is a universal fit product best suited for SUVs, crossovers, wagons, hatchbacks, minivans, and passenger cars. It is designed to fit behind the 2nd or 3rd row seat headrests, spanning the width of the vehicle's interior. Compatible with most vehicles whose interior width falls between 39" and 66" and interior height (from seat back to headliner) falls between 30" and 46". The optional Extension Kit (sold separately) adds 11" of additional height for taller full-size vans and minivans that exceed the standard 46" max. The optional Fence Kit (8APBF03, sold separately) adds horizontal bar coverage for vehicles with folded rear seats or cargo-only configurations. Note: This is a universal product — minor fit verification is recommended for vehicles with unusually narrow, wide, or shaped cargo bays.

Installation

Installation is a true DIY-friendly, tool-free process that typically takes only minutes. Simply extend the barrier to the appropriate width and height to match your vehicle's interior, position the flexible support feet against the headliner and seat-back, and lock everything in place by tightening the red adjustment knobs. No drilling, no screws, and no permanent modifications to your vehicle are required. The barrier can be removed and re-installed just as quickly, making it ideal for households with multiple vehicles. For detailed step-by-step guidance, refer to the included WeatherTech installation instruction sheet.
