SHG818 Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 The title says it all. Just bought a new ES 350. I basically love the car (used to be an MB E series owner), but I was shocked to find that there is no coat hook in the ES 350. Does any one have any suggestions. I do not want to always use a hanger just to hang up my jacket. There are some other ugly options, but I was hoping to hear something somewhat clean.

SW03ES Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Believe it...the '07 has a coat hook but they replaced it in '08 with a light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saabkyle04 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Yep it's true, they didn't think there was adequate lighting in the back so they added the extra lights, I have a 2007 and don't care anything about extra rear seat lights lol, the coat hangar is so much more practical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHG818 Posted June 17, 2009 Author Share Posted June 17, 2009 So, now that I have to accept that the Relentless Pursuit of Perfection does not include a coat hook in the ES 350, anybody come up with a fix? (I guess I'll go to Target and try to find a stick on hook and glue it to the handle.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZ08LexusES Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I just hang the stuff on one of the rails of the head rest. Some people have a hanger for their coat and hang it there anyway, even when they have the hook. Right Steve? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Yeah I have a genuine Lexus coat hanger that attaches to the headrest posts of the driver's seat. Works much better than the coat hook. Search the net for it, came from japan and cost about $125 but its in matching leather and very attractive. Thats why its the relentless PURSUIT of perfection. Perfection is something that can never be obtained. Someone somewhere decided lights>coat hook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I guess I'll go to Target and try to find a stick on hook and glue it to the handle.) I don't know the configuration of your back 'handle', but when I got my 99RX300, there was no coat hook. I was sure that was an oversight, talked to the dealer,m and - presto! - they came up with a coat hook that has a slightly open ring in the back and fits over the handle, and looks as original as can be. I am sure that the part is available separately. It might be the best solution? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad to know that it is attractive and apparently worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
