Holes in tailgate.What for?

[RealBeale]

I have some holes in mt tailgate on my V6 that I don't have on my 1.8.
What are they for? Am I missing something that I should have? It never came with a load cover.

Load cover didn't fit to the back door, only the side panels.
Only thing I can think of is a rear window dog guard.
Any photos?

Sounds to me like the previous owner retained the dog guard, but left you the holes!:D

I noticed aswell some corresponding holes in the rear seatbacks.

Can you post a picture?

[RealBeale]

Err, I don't know how.How sad is that?

if its 2 big holes along the top with 2 smaller holes lower down it will be for the window dog guard.. s'what i've got on mine!

piccie attached with the pink arrows showing where I drilled mine

but it gives you the advantage that you can buy one of the cheap ones off fleabay that don't have a fitting kit and it'll slot right in!

They let out :-
rain
condensation
dog dribbles
sundry less savoury liquids when you bring your mates back from the pub
