I have a dog, Tonka with whom I do competitive obedience, one of the reasons for the Pilot, (Thanks Tonka).... and in the summer when we train outdoors we like to keep the windows down and keep the hatch open... Tonka prefers to ride in the trunk without a crate. So to ensure his safety, I am looking for some sort of barrier to keep him enclosed in the trunk with the hatch open so that air/wind can circulate...

The separation net offered by Honda won't work, it is too short and I am not sure if the traditional barrier gate will or not, but thought I would throw it out for ideas and see if some other crazy individual has seen something that might work.

And just for extras, if anyone is ever looking for a dog crate for the Pilot, there is a slant front crate made by General Cagehttp://www.generalcage.com/Shopping/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=GeneralCage&category%5F name=Slant+Front+Crates&product%5Fid=200BlackSF which will work nicely if your dog fits. I have seen a few other slant front versions on the market as well. It seems to be the widest/tallest one that I could find that I didn't have to turn sideways or lay down both sets of seats..
