Reviving this old thread. Anyone tried any of the suggested coat hangers? Or find another one the works with the SC430, since the seats have the plastic back plate?
Yes, I saw a good one at 99 cents store in Lake forest, CA store. Its simple a hook for head rest and 2 hooks for coat hangers at the other end.
I dont think those will work in the SC430... b'c we have the plastic seatback cover. Unless someone has them on the SC430, I'd love to see a photo. I was hoping for the true coat hanger with the "arms." like this..
Used an old shoe string and a regular coat hanger for coat, shirt and a grocery bag!
Lift the head rest,
Tie the shoe string (little loose) between the 2 poles
Push down the head rest, shoe string will not be visible from front or back.
Slide the hook of the hanger under the shoe string from the other side.
Voila! hang all you can! use imagination and customize the concept.
(Patent application pending!)
yes, which is exactly why I posted it. But will it work in the SC430? Will the plastic seat back cover allow it to attach correctly? That was the point of my post on this thread.

If you take these plastic clips and flip them over, there is a decent chance they will work.
If you look at this picture, you can still access the headrest posts through the backplate, but the clips will attach more easily if they can be mounted in between the two posts, instead of the outside of the posts (probably won't fit in the back plate space) You can email the seller and see if the clips can be flipped over.
So I took a chance and bought these same exact headrest coat hangers. I had to adapt them a little but they seem to work perfectly. I had to remove the plastic ends, as the issue was the arm length (ie. depth) would not allow to keep the plastic piece that locks onto the head rest posts. Once I unscrewed the plastic ends, I taped the threaded ends with electrical tape, then felt, then another layer of electric tape. This would protect the leather from scratches or tears, just in case. I then removed the headrest and could see that there is enough of a gap where the the head rest post enters the head rest that allowed me to insert the taped/felted ends of the hanger. Then I placed everything into it's natural place and viola! Pretty happy with the results. Now I have a pair on both sides, for symmetry. I'm sure with the top down, I'd have to remove any coat due to wind. I'm sure I'll also get questions, as they look like the have some effect on aerodynamics. Thoughts?
