I was looking at dog guards for the Born, I have one for the Ateca which was really nice, so looked on that companies website.
They do one for the ID3 which fixes where the rear seats latch: https://dogguardsrus.co.uk/custom-made- ... 9-onwards/
but after messaging, apparently it won't fit the Born. :|

the only other one I can find is attached to the headrest posts, not my favoured way of fitting, but I guess its the only choice I have, I don't want the ugly universal ones, so as far as I can see this is the best option: https://www.driveden.com/product/ergote ... 2022-11794

Or does anyone have any other suggestions ?

I'd guess to say that they don't really know if it'll fit the Born, so have said no. I'm 99.9% sure the boot and rear seat bench is identical between the Born and ID3, except cloth covering. The boot floors are identical - my load liner from my old ID3 is a perfect fit in my Born.

I have bought more than a few things from driveden, and they have always been excellent. There should be 10% off for signing up, so make sure you get that code if you use them.

I too would be amazed if the product dogguardsrus has for the ID3 doesn't fit the Born, my ID3 boot floor tray went from ID3 to Born as did the 3rd party boot liner, fits in exactly the same way.

I don't know but I thought similar to you guys.

This is what I messaged them:

"Hi,
Do you know if the dog guard for the VW ID3 would fit the Cupra Born, as its built on the same platform.
If you do not know, could I order one and return it for full refund if it did not."

The reply sounded pretty unequivocal:

"Thank you for your message.
I have checked this with the Product Development Team and the guard does not fit the Cupra Born – there must be small differences that mean it will not fit."

Despite Dogguardsrus saying it wont fit, guess what ?

Fits perfectly. 8-)

I know one seat is not fully locked in pics (red tab up). I took photo's after I loosened it to fit parcel shelf, they do fully lock down and everything works fine.
