Claim:
1. A positionable vehicle partition system comprising: at least two rails configured to be mountable on a vehicle floor or bed in a spaced apart parallel relationship; a substantially planar partition for separating a vehicle area into at least two sections; a slide assembly having a stationary slide member affixed to or defined by each of the rails, and a movable slide member extending away from and directly affixed to the partition, the movable slide member being linearly slidable with respect to the stationary slide member in a horizontally longitudinal direction, frontwardly and rearwardly relative to the vehicle floor or bed; a latch for retaining the partition in a selected position relative to the rails, wherein said latch is fixedly mounted to said stationary slide member with a retaining clip that locates said latch above said stationary slide member and said latch has a vertically moveable pin selectively moveable through said stationary slide member into a catch fixed above said movable slide member so that said pin engages with said catch to lock said catch but said pin does not engage said moveable slide member; wherein the partition comprises a panel and a structurally reinforcing frame that extends at least partially along a perimeter of the panel; wherein said movable slide member comprises an integral bracket angled between said slide member and said frame wherein mechanical fasteners extend through said bracket into said frame of said partition to locate said entire partition in a non-horizontal fixed position, wherein said frame is directly attached to said integral bracket of said moveable slide member to move with said slide member.
