clothes hanger

Installing overhead molle rack

 

Well, doesn’t make sense to me yet.
This pick shows what I’d say is for hanging clothes;

This pic is closeup of the piece in question, smooth with no hook.

 

Probably just a trim piece to cover the hardware holding up the headliner.

 

Well now hmm….scratches head

 

Well then, I have no clue!

 

Just a trim piece where the hanger used to be because the rear air bags would be dangerous with clothes hanging there. Pop the cover and theres probably a plastic bolt button or actual bolt underneath.

 

I see you have access cab. Are there clothes hanger hooks in that same location in your cab?

 

It's a trim blank.

 

I see. Maybe I could pop off old and replace with hook in order to install attic netting.

 

Does your truck have rollover airbag, kind of looks like something to do with that

 

Looked up part. Toyota calls it a Headliner Cap. Thanks all!

Probably right about air bag interference.

 

not sure. Figure there would be some kind of air bag tag if it were?

 

The airbag is to the left of that button. It's stamped in the plastic.
