G80 Sport? Does anyone know what the 2 silver tabs are for on the back of the support

The parts catalog calls them coat hooks. Not a good angle for coat hooks though.

Just picked up my G80 yesterday. Wife asked our salesman/"product specialist" what they were for. He said they were there to hold a partition (between the front and back seats) if you wanted to use the car for Uber driving.

Very creative, but he made that up. Look in the manual. They are coat hooks.

Yes they are coat hooks.

you could probably hang one of those clothing rods that goes across the entire back of the car (like traveling salesmen use to have).

My thoughts on what they are? useless... Unless you are hanging laundry to dry. They truly make no sense at all .

I've been driving Genesis for 2 1/2 years and 50,000 miles and I use them. Well, used one once so far.

Maybe we can come up with more practical uses so they are not wasted. . My favorite Italian store has cheese hanging from the ceiling on strings. I could use them when transporting cheese and salami. How about for drying garlic?

Hang car air freshener on these (pine scented Christmas tree).

My son was in the car the other day and asked what they were. I admit I haven't used them yet.

As usual the official answer to all questions is in the manual
It’s a CLOTHES HANGER although I can’t imagine anyone using it.

Seems like a hangar with a swivel hook would probably work best there ....

pretty worthless as a clothes hanger. and putting anything there makes it impossible to roll down the rear window.

Last time I put a rear window down was over a dozen years ago and it was accidental. Pissed me off too, the mechanism broke and it would not go back up. I took the panel off and propped it up with a stick. I love a car with good climate control.

Its been many years since I had a convertible. Maybe 10 days a year I wish I still had one, but too hot or too cold, give me a closed box with heat and AC.

I tried a regular hanger and it falls right off when I close the door... I will try a swivel one as suggested.

After some research I ended up getting this comparing cost and value:

Was the best price I could find for this model. Will definitely be handy this summer to hang up my blazer.

I looked at that one, I choose the one I posted because it folds out of the way when not in use.
