There are four areas in the headliner, two on each side of passenger and driver, that appear to be mounting locations for something that can be mounted to them inside our Q7's.
They are L-shaped grooves.
Did some searching here and briefly scanned the owner's manual but didn't see a reference to them.
Does someone know the purpose of these? I will post photos if unclear....
I don't think they're coat hooks. Here's a pic from my vehicle's headliner and also a section of the owner's manual which highlights the coat hooks in red but also shows these mounting points with no explanation
I'm gonna say it's a hanging garment bag holder...like you put your nicer clothes or a suite in to keep them fresh looking, etc., and the chain of the garment bag engages that fitting...final answer! C'mon, this was Audi's poshest ride for a while at least, so gotta have the garment bag holders for max seating and hard luggage in the back.
If you look at pics of the 4M Q7, the same exact fitting is there, but it's located on the other side of the grab handle, closer to the front seat, etc., which would serve no other purpose that I can surmise. The only pet and/or cargo accessories offered by Audi don't use those as anchor points.
FWIW, the little plastic 'hangar hook' isn't super sturdy, but these bad boys are thick and strongly anchored with largish hardware. I'm pretty sure I've wedged a few wire hangars in there when moving.

As far as I know there is nothing that mounts on the inside. The small hook attached to the handle would hang one shirt. These can hang your whole wardrobe. I just removed the headliner in mine and can attest to their sturdiness. I think they're just an extension of the coat hanger. Although not highlighted in the owners manual.
That slot is for the rear cargo area partition. I don't have one for my Q7, but in my allroad the mesh partition pulls up and slots into those grooves near the C pillar. Some cars also have them near the B pillar for when the seats are folded down.
Case closed, and no, I've never seen this accessory offered anywhere prior when looking around to see what was offered for my Q7 that I might like to have.

Wow! Where has this been all my life?! Ordering now....
For the low-low price of only $500 (on sale from MSRP of $754...gasp...aaaargh):
Yeah, they are stupid expensive but it's a cool thing to have IMO. I think maybe they came standard on prestige models. I was able to source a used one on ebay for my allroad.

Dumb question? Headliner mounting holes...
