Hi: I have a Forester with the Subaru pet barrier installed by the dealer.  It works well but does not afford a lot of flexibility since it must be removed by taking out the screws.  In retrospect I think that maybe a suction or tubular pressure barrier might work better for occasions when it is not needed.  I also worry about being rear-ended with the dog in the back, although in five years (thank god) that has never happened.
