Default Not for a coat hanger, privacy screen? What is this?

Based on its position, you couldn't put a coat hanger here, it would rub on the window...

What is this hook for?

For reference, it's on the B pillar...

Sorry, the iPad isn't orienting this photo properly, but you get the idea...

I hang my jacket from the loop inside on that hook.

Is it on both sides? If so, you could run one of those clothes hanger bars across

And that's exactly what it's for. I saw a photo from some Audi press materials that showed a business man in the back seat with his jacket hung from that hook.

Really? There's another called out in the manual as a coat hook, about 10 inches away... On the ceiling!

And yes, there is one on both sides.

The one 10 inches away is for clothes on a hanger. The one in the picture is for someone sitting in the backseat to hang their jacket from.

Okay- I will take you guys at your word on that. Seems a tad excessive! I'd rather have some sort of privacy screen there like the rear and side sunshades. It would make taking naps at work easier....

One is the coat hook and the other is for use with a coat hanger.

Awesome except you have your dirty shoes on my seat. And my copilot is smushed but I'm glad he is comfy.
