Combined with the C.R. Laurence power sliding rear window that I can open fromt he front seat, my dog should now be tickled pink! :).
Seems as how Maggie is driving out to Georgia with me, and probably other shows, it was about time I did something other then taking an old sheet and laying it over the back seat. So, i installed a product from "Canine Covers" over the back seat, its a custom fit, dog friendly cover, thats specifically designed for dog hair, etc. Just shake it oua nd your good to go. Fits pretty well too. Holds in place securely. Dog won't slide around (so they say, haven't tested it out yet).
Then for the front seats, installed "Seat Savers", from Covercraft. They aren't the wet okole caliber of seat cover, they are more designed for easy on, easy off, so when they get covered in dog hair (which they will), off they come, in the wash, out of the wash, right back on). Here's some pics:

They aren't completely installed yet, still have some final tugging and tucking to do, but the original install was pretty easy so pretty happy with that. Easy off, easy on :).

I'm still waiting for the doggie door from the backseat to the bed with a nice little lawn too. LOL...
