X1 Dog crate

HBJ320I · 01-24-2015, 10:12 AM

Hi,
Just bought an X1 and I need a dog crate for my Labrador.
What crates do you recommend for the X1.

Cheers

Dog crate should be sized to the dog and not to the car.

Anyway, have you considered two other alternatives:

> the cover for the rear seats
> netting for behind the front seats and a carpet for the rear

Given the size of most Labs I would suggest that you look at BMW's rear seat covers. A crate will take up most of the rear cargo area. I am not sure it would fit in long ways. We installed the BMW seat covers and they work well enough. Just shop around you should be able to get at least 20% MSRP.

Amazon has a bunch of rear trunk covers that will work with the rear seats down and keep the back clean.

Here's just one:

We got this one from BavAuto and absolutely love it!

Do you have the website for the BavAuto website?

That is the most difficult site to find something. But, we found it on the Covercraft website.

Just go to the Bavauto website and type in the part number (PCL6340) in the search box...or type "covercraft" in the search box. That'll get you there.

Thanks for the info and, although I'm a big fan of a rubber backed carpet and it works well but, I went ahead and ordered the cover from BavAuto (Including shipping it is the cheapest among the sellers).
So, we'll see...

You have roof racks?

I've got a goldendoodle now. I couldn't stand the fallout from a German shepard, and a yellow lab.
