Dog Transporter - Toyota Yaris Forums

Idahotom · 03-16-2011, 12:14 PM

Since I live on a mountain and have to have a serious 4 wheel drive all winter, I've had my Yaris parked and have been driving my good old Toyota '89 All-Trac. In that I don't worry about anything, as it's a beater, so Ted the dog can ride anywhere he damn well wants.

In my late Fall purchased Yaris, I have been agonizing over how to Ted proof it, or breaking it to him he would NOT GET TO GO! I have decided I will sacrifice the passenger side new window tinting (he'll scratch that up, slobber all over it etc) and to preserve the passenger side dash (where he likes to put his fore paws, complete with claws), I used a small piece of velcroed carpet to protect the plastic. I would like to protect the fabric on the door, as that is where he'll rest his paws when hanging his head out the window, but am unable to figure out how to make some protective carpet or whatever adhere to the existing fabric, so have decided what the hell it's only a car and he is my best bud so I don't plan to worry about it. The passenger seat (the ONLY place he'll have free rein, really) I just throw an old bed sheet over.

If you can't take your dog, what good is the car?
