I have two large Labrador Retriever dogs. When I take them for a ride, one rides in the back seat and the other in the front.

Well the dog in the front likes to lay down and place her feet on the center console. And sometimes she steps on a window switch which causes one of the windows to roll up/down. (Not good.)

Anyway I solved that problem. I simply place a 3-ring binder (like kids use for school) in-between the passenger seat and the center console. This sticks up a bit and thus makes it uncomfortable for her to lay down on the console - she instead lays down totally on the passenger seat.

Federal law was changed about 10 years ago to address this very issue.

Thanks for posting that.

It would be much worse with the switch on the door arm rest shown in the above story picture! My dogs like to step on the arm rests to poke their noses out the window.

Note my Mercedes is an 89 420 (the dog car). But I also have a new Volvo... Just went and looked. It does have arm rest switches which are pull-up/push-down. There is a narrow hole the switches must be pressed down into in which a finger would fit, but not an entire kids hand or a dog's paw.

And of course I can turn on the child safety switch for the rear windows, then they are deactivated.
