Add an hanging hook to the rear...

We miss the cargo area hanging hook in our W163 (the one above the rear quarter windows). It's the only place to hang dry cleaning and garments when you're also carrying a back seat full of kids.

Ideas anyone?
Does anyone make a 'hook' that fits into the hole used for the divider net?
If I machined a such a hook, would any of you pay $15 for it?

Sounds like a good idea. PM/email me when you get a prototype. $15 sounds fair.

Mentioned on the other forum. There are many available stick on hooks at hardware and building supply stores that look good and cost 2 or 3 busks and dont use any exisitng accesory holes.

Seems kind of tacky in a $59k vehicle. Even

A cheap Japanese minivan will have a rear hanging hook. I'll make something custom that snaps into the cargo divider hole in the headliner.
