Default Clothes Hook

With the C7 being my first Vette, perhaps I can be forgiven for being unaware of some issues.

I had assumed that there must have been some sort of clothes hook in the car. When I went to hang a few pieces of clothes in the car this afternoon, found nothing.

Does anyone have a good workaround for this? Thanks. Don

I'd imagine if you laid them flat in the back they would be fine until you got home.

Not sure I could suggest much else.

That's about the best you're going to get. Not like the C7 is a sedan or something that has clothes hooks from the factory.

That’s what I did. I guess a soft hanging bag laid flat would be the route for more clothes. Oh, well, no biggie.

Maybe OP left his browser window open when he went for a drive, and somebody played a little mischief on his computer.

Edit: No offense meant, Don! It just seemed like a strange question especially after reading your other posts about the bike carrier, etc.

Even with a hook, the clothes would be practically laying down, anyways.

No offense taken and I understand that my question might seem inconsistent with other comments I’ve made. Don

Didn't realize that there was no clothes hook on the C7. This could be a deal breaker for me....

I have a suit bag that I use that lays flat in my trunk. You could string a line in the car for more clothes but you'd have vision difficulty trying to look through a jacket sleeve or whatever.

I'm looking for the fish hook. Looks like there's one on the back end of the roof panel

this is what works for me. When my wife says " Pick up the dry cleaning and be sure to hang it up." Assuming it's not raining or I'd use her SUV, I say fine! Then I put the clear plastic bag flat in the hatch and try not to exceed 0.5 "g" cornering!
Bring it in the house and all is fine! She feels better thinking it was hanging, which would actually be worse as there is no room to hang, IF it had a hook!

It is really pretty simple to wrap a bungee cord or cloth belt around the upper part of passenger seat, then hang clothes from cord over the seat back. Been doing this for years.
