I've recently changed car and Lola, my chocolate labrador, now lives on the back seat of the car. She's very happy there (difficult to wake up when we arrive at destinations). However when the sun is out I think she is going to get a bit too exposed to it when travelling, as well as when parked. So I'm thinking of making a simple shelter with a bit of cloth suspended between the front and rear headrests, obviously it can't be too heavy as occasionally she wakes up and likes to check everyone around her is behaving.

My first thought it to use some of the mesh / netting that is used for kids sunshades, but I can't think where I can get a sheet approx 70 cm x 140 cm. I've tried Woolies and Dunhelms, but have so far drawn a blank. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks for your time.

You could try these people http://www.uvcarshades.co.uk/index.php.
Bought some a few years back for my BMW E60. They are made for a perfect fit on the rear windows. They are not cheap, but they do a good job.

Hi

Thanks for the link, I'll email them to see if they can supply bulk material, as I don't want to mask the windows.
