I'm not sure exactly what they're called, but I saw something on TV the other day, I forget what it was, but it had a shot of a car with the window about 1/2 way down, and some type of grate that kept the opening blocked. It was very similar to a baby gate. I just googled "pet auto window guards" and had a ton of stuff come up. But instead of just randomly hunting through, I wondered if anyone has actually used something like this? If so, which brand, and do they work well (i.e. are they strong enough to keep a big strong dog in, or people from removing/defeating the product from the outside?
Now that the weather has cooled off a lot here, we are back to taking Kodee in the car with us a lot, and if this product actually worked, it would be great to have the windows almost all the way down so the air could flow through the car (although we never leave Kodee in the car for very long, even in cool weather).
I've been curious about those too. I think I'd want the one with a fan in it if I was going to leave the dog in the car awhile, or on a hot day. Most of the dog shows I go to, people leave dogs in crates in the car and leave hatches and sliding doors all the way open for better circulation than those little grates.

I like them because air can circulate throughout the car but the dog can't hang his head out of the window. I have one for each of my back windows, and I like them. If someone were determined to break into your car the barriers wouldn't stop them, but it would require some force. Mine have small enough spaces that nobody could get their hand inside the car, and a dog couldn't poke their muzzle through, so that's a plus too.
I've had mine for about ten years and don't know the brand anymore, but I'm glad to have them. They serve their purpose.
