Installation – No Modification Required

Installing the Variogate is easy and does NOT require modification to your vehicle. Straps are used to secure the gate to the very back of your vehicle’s cargo area, as well as to the deepest part of your cargo area. These can be attached to cargo hooks (if your vehicle has them), seat belt attachments, or other attach points. Further, the Variogat has adjustable, extending polls that extend from the gate back to the seat behind it adding additional stability.

FAQ

My vehicle does not have cargo hooks, can I still use this gate?

Most vehicles have hooks or attach points in the cargo area, sometimes these can be hard to find as they are hidden behind seats or under small latch covers. If you cannot find any cargo hooks look for other areas to attach your gate like seatbelt hooks. If you are looking for a stronger fitment, consider adding the Variobarrier, this unit is specifically designed to allow the Variogate to attach into it’s base making it a stronger more complete unit together.
