We have those Travall guards in both a Forester and Landcruiser.
They are sturdy and purpose made to fit the vehicle model in question, even having subtle differences depending if your car has a sunroof, its the perfect fit and strength you are paying for, i don't think even the most determined bull mastiff could break through into the passenger compartment.
Easy to fit and remove when necessary, i'd say they were better and stronger than most car maker supplied dog guards save maybe for the official Landcruiser fitment (some £500) which would not be out of place in a prison bus and i defy even a strong man to break through one.
The 'feet' of the Travall frame tend to sit on the ledge by the rear window, constantly under pressure to keep the guard in place securely via the threaded knobs you tighten to suit...if you buy and fit one i suggest cutting 1/2" thick strips of rubber to place under the feet, because after several summers the plastic coverings of the inner quater panels can distort where the Travall legs sit, the rubber strip will help spread the concentrated pressure.
There is no comparison between the Travall item and alleged universal guards, last universal i used i had to use a dozen or more thick cable ties fastened to the rear head rests just to keep the thing in plac, utterly useless ityem which went in the bin, even our spaniels and viszla could have ripped the thing apart in minutes.
