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.
