"Oh ****" Handle in the back?

Hey Everyone,

I wear a suit to work every day and I ususally hang my jacket on the hanger in the back seat of my current car.

I know the RX doesn't have any handles in the back, but has anyone installed one in the back? Maybe a DIY?

I tried searching but had no luck...

anyone else think this is a MUST HAVE?


Thanks,

Thanks,

I twist my hanger and use the anchor for one of the child seats on the back dash. The coat then lays against the seat....It works well.

I think it's because when your friend is driving like a maniac, the following words are often heard as you're hanging onto the handle for dear life, "OH ****, we're gonna DIE!!!" <---hence the name :D

Anyone know what the "real" name for that part is? I know it surely can't be 'handle'...

Hmm, still hoping someone has figured out how to mount a 'handle' back there...

Along the same idea, I use the seatbelt slot in the back seat. Doesn't lie "perfectly" flat, but never encountered any issues with creasing or such.

Unless it's a real long drive, I just neatly lay it on the passenger seat. Never had any problems.

Called a Grab Handle down here... "Grab hold of it and hang on for the ride of your life!" :D

Interesting that there is none in the back...

BTW I lay my suit on the floor of the boot (trunk for some of you) - short trips it is okay...

a nice little slogan for that handle that i've seen is "Get in. Sit down. Shut up, and Hang on"

I would be pretty leery about drilling into the molding above the door with the side curtain airbags in the 8. The last thing you would want to do is damage a part that could adversely affect the deployment.

Hmm, guess I'm gonna have to put my cordless drill away then, huh?!

There's gotta be another way... Someone has to find a way to do this and post it in D.I.Y. :D
