Does anyone have a full fitted boot liner?
I have the rubber mate but was planning on a fitted liner to protect from dog hairs and the like.

+1 for hatchbag. The quality is superb and the cut is perfect. They are not without their drawbacks, however. The primary weakness, which I suppose cannot be avoided, is that the velcro that you stick onto the car will inevitably come off if you use the boot a lot, as it gets pulled this way and that, especially by dogs. They say that you must thoroughly clean the area with a silicone remover like Autoglym tar remover, but ultimately you'll be left with peeling velcro. I've looked at using a better backing tape, which is a 3M permanent double-sided tape. It's seriously strong, but it leaves me with the dilemma of then removing the hatchbag when I want to put the 3rd row of seats up. (Which is about once a year, so it's not really a huge issue).
Anyway, I'd recommend them; 8/10. PAGODA

I've had a hatchbag before but prefer the boot buddy http://www.boot-buddy.com/
Being semi-rigid it is much easier to put in and out, doesn't need velcro and IMHO looks a lot neater.
Only downside is they have as longish delivery time (3 weeks) and the customer service isn't the best.

+1 for boot Buddy - the clear screen is also a great idea.
Quit a few of our customers use them for their dogs and all swear by them

I had a hatch bag and it was great but the as has been said, the velcro issue was significant and a PITA tbh. The Boot Buddy looks to be a better bet to me and I'd certainly be leaning towards that over a hatch bag next time for sure.

Go for a transit box instead:
No velcro
No cleaning up for when car needs selling
No problem putting rear seats up - just remove box.
Easier to clean
Safer for the dogs
More secure for dogs when need to leave rear door open in hot weather

Just tried to order the Boot Buddy - it is NOT compatible if you have a Land Rover cargo guard fitted to the car. Can't help feeling they might have missed a trick there to be honest. I don't want to go back to a hatch bag due to the significant velcro issues so what to do? My17 Volvo XC90 Inscription

I've a hatchbag style cover, got it 2nd hand for £20 off the site.
It's not perfect but it covers the tailgate, sides and seat back, it's got tabs to attach onto the cargo barrier.
Does a decent job of keeping dog hair and general rubbish to a minimum.
I don't really use the 3rd row seats unless I remove both it and the barrier.

I use a hatchbag liner with the LR flexible boot mat on top of it. Works well for me, but yes the velcro is a bit of a pain. I've had to redo it a couple of times. It helps if you prepare the surface well with tar remover as per the instructions. Better quality velcro helps as well. The dog is always in a crate.
If I do unexpectedly have to use the rear seats, the hatchbag liner can fold up into a carrier bag size and the mat is flexible enough to fit folded behind the rear seats. 2006 D3 HSE (Original & still the best)-GONE

That's Ok if you have a small or medium dog. Large dog ? No IMHO.

What do you define as large?
the TransK9 box almost fills the back of the Disco load area with around 2" spare at the top and sides... Big enough for a Newfoundland I can assure you.. 1 TR6 Rusting away quietly
