Net Pet Barrier
Care & Use Guide
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Solvit Products Net Pet Barrier. This Barrier is designed
for installation behind the front or rear seat in all vehicles.
The carton should contain: a storage pouch; a large netting section; and a fastening kit which includes
seven circular fasteners with cord attached, seven square fasteners with adhesive backing, and seven
spring-loaded barrel locks. Please note only six of the fastener sets are needed to install the Barrier.
We suggest storing the extra set in the storage pouch or some other safe place.
The netting section is attached to a wire frame which "pops open" automatically. Take care when
removing the netting section from the storage pouch.
INSTALLATION: In general, installation
consists of three steps:
1) Adhere six of the square fasteners with
adhesive backing to the vehicle's interior;
2) Attach six of the round fasteners with cord
to the netting section; and
3) Suspend netting section by connecting the
round fasteners to the square fasteners.
The following instructions provide detail for
each of the above steps...
Step 1: The square fasteners must be attached to the plastic covers on the vertical columns which
separate the windows - three fasteners per side - either behind the front seat or behind the back seat.
IT IS CRITICAL that the square fasteners be attached to a super-clean surface (more on this later).
The approximate position to adhere the three square pieces is: 1) at the highest point on the plastic
cover, or about 5 inches below the headliner, whichever is lower; 2) eight inches below the first
fastener; and 3) eight inches below the second fastener. Vehicle dimensions vary widely - therefore, to
determine the exact position to adhere the fasteners, we recommend holding the netting section in
place by hand, centered in the vehicle and behind the seat, with the top of the wire frame flush with the
headliner. Now stretch the side panels of the netting section out until they reach the plastic covers (this
is easier with two people). Please note the netting section is large enough to fit the widest vehicles.
Therefore, the side panels might not extend fully before touching the plastic covers – this is normal for
most vehicles! Make sure the side panels are held such that the "grommet strips" are in a level
position. Starting on one side of the vehicle, mark with a pencil the location where each of the three
grommet strips touches the plastic cover. Add three marks on the other side of the vehicle that are
"mirror images" of the first three marks (same height, same forward position).
VERY IMPORTANT!! Around each of the six pencil marks, clean a two-inch square area
THOROUGHLY with rubbing alcohol. Repeat this cleaning step THREE TIMES to make sure the
surface is ready. Working one at a time, peel the backing off the fasteners and press firmly against the
plastic where it has been cleaned. Once all six fasteners are in place, wait overnight before installing
the netting section. Store the extra square fastener in a safe place.
