For the life of me I can't figure out what is different when hanging dry cleaning on drivers side rear passenger grab handle.

The Hangers slide forward and back while driving, but can't remember this happening on any other vehicle I've driven in decades. Maverick grab are smooth rectangles (grab part) and I don't remember if past vehicles had finger grooves or any grooves. Maybe it's the smooth plastic but don't remember any other vehicles not being smooth plastic.

I know it's stupid, just a slight annoyance but the sound of them moving forward and back is grating while on the way back home. Dry cleaning will slide off the back seat or passenger seat and if I put in the bed it would be a mess when I arrived home.

Anyone else noticed this and has a solution for this sliding? Another Ford vehicle grab handle shaped differently? Is there a hook that will snap onto these?
Really!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, next time you might want to complain about something important, that actually causes a real problem. But it is still your right to say what you want; just as it is mine. Have a great day!

Never worked in a professional position that required me to utilize the service of a dry cleaner. I was of a pressure washer type worker before retiring. Build date 3/11/24. Can’t wait!

Might be a lariat only option.

OK, so now I know what I was looking for. I'll see if what I picked up works and if not get some Lariat grab handles.

try slipping a short piece of split foam pipe insulation (grey) from the hardware store over the handle, costs about $2 and there's enough left over to make many more.
