Question Hidden coat hook sockets?

I have a Scion iQ (2012 vintage), and am looking for a solution to a storage problem for the rear area, specifically a couple of places to hang clothing.

In some of the past Toyota products that I have bought, there is a ready made threaded socket located beneath the headliner, and all that you had to do was to purchase the **** and the screw from Toyota, then screw them into place. Specifically, this was the case with the 1982 Starlet and the 2003 Tercel

With the newer cars, the hinge down entry assist handles have taken the place of the traditional coat hook/****. However, the iQ has no rear handles.

Does anybody know if there are mounting points for these hangers beneath the iQ headliner?

I have seen the roof area with the headliner removed and didn't see anything that would support a clothes hook.

There is a coat hook on the back seat belt top mount for one hanger.

Thank you for pointing that out. I had looked at the belt mount when putting the belt tang, but had not noticed that. It looks as if the seat belt hangers will be the ultimate solution to this little problem.

I took a close look at the seat belt mounts, and what you are seeing there is the hook for the storage of the seat belt tangs. (There's one on each side.)

The seat belt tangs are supposed to be flipped up and hung on the two small hooks on the seat belt mount, this to keep them from rattling as you tool down the motorway. This is in the manual, by the way.
