Cargo Barrier options for Forester with sunroof ???

[Liberty Valance]

Hi, has anyone found a good solution for installing a Cargo Barrier on a Forester with a factory sunroof ?

The usual manufacturers don't seem to accommodate for this option. Happy to look at people's custom made options for inspiration as I am only really interested in forming a barrier from the top of the back seat to the roof.

Thanks, LV

I remember seeing one on ozfoz or subaruforester.org

Do you need it to hold weight or just a dog barrier?

Thanks for the part number lefty, just to confirm does that one look exactly like yours across the roof line profile? Out of interest where do the upper mounting brackets pick up anchor points?

Idw, Thanks a search found that member Dells Fozz has something similar but on a non-sunroof model. Made by cutting the bottom off a standard barrier and mounting it on a WRX rear strut brace.

Robbks, I just want to stop items flying through from the boot into the cabin in the case of rollover or collision. I have been in a rolled 4 runner once and a tool box narrowly missed my head. I don't want to take any chances offroading with children in the back.

.

yes looks the same.
I DIYed my own mounts using some flat bar to the rear child seat anchor points.
I think the proper fitment needs cutting of the side panels which I didn't want to do. Anyway I got mine 2nd hand so it didn't come with instructions.
