Question Dry Cleaning Blues In GX470......

Ok ok I know this is another "nit-picky" BUT......

Does anyone else have trouble when they come out of the dry cleaners.... hooking their clothes on the hand handle above the backseat doors?

On my Jeep Cherokee the hand handle came down farther.... making it very easy to hook a bunch of dry cleaning when departing the dry cleaners.

Do after market longer hand handles exist for above the backseat doors?

I found a small triangle shaped hanger that fits over the handle at a carwash place for about five bucks that works great. It almost matches my interior perfectly. I can hang a whole years dry cleaning on it.

Thanx Tex......I will look for one of those and it sounds like it is stable......i have seen some of those type of things that look pretty flimsy and may pull off as you pull your clothes out of the vehicle.

My manual says there should be retractable hooks inside, but I don't see any. Maybe they took them out when they "upgraded" the interior from the 2003/04 models.

Default Retractable hooks

I think those are in the rear area. I have taken to opening the tailgate and hanging drycleaning back there as opposed to struggling with the handles above the backseat.

There are no hanger hooks for trucks with the third row seats.
