BELL Automotive 22-1-00073-8 Automotive Expandable Clothes Hanger Bar for Travel, Extendable 35”- 56”- Perfect for Car, Trucks & SUV

Due to the other reviews which said the plastic ends broke after a short period of time I was glad that I had hooks in my car. I purchased this and went to install only to realize I didn't have hooks so I was forced to use the plastic hooks on the bar. I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous about it it breaking, because I was. I purchased it on July 7th and the day it arrived I installed it. I have about 15 pieces of clothing on the bar and have since the install. The plastic hooks haven't given way and my clothes are still hanging great. I went on vacation for a week, leaving my car parked in a driveway uncovered with external temps that had reached 90 degrees that week, internal temps certainly rose well above that. When I returned it was still in place with my clothes still hanging. I travel about 500 miles each week, returning to my home on the weekends and living out of hotels during the week. This bar has stood up to everything. The rubber sleeve on the bar keeps my clothes from sliding around even when I take a corner too sharp. I couldn't be happier after nearly a month of continual use. In case you are wondering I drive a 2013 Chevy Impala and it fits great! If this things gives way I'll update the review but for now it is going strong and for under 10 bucks I couldn't be more pleased.*** UPDATE OCT 2014 ***over 3 months ago I purchased this and day one it went into my 2013 Chevy Impala hanging from the plastic hooks (so many said the hooks are the weak link and break). I'm happy to report that the bar is STILL in my car (I have yet to take it down), still holding about 8 pairs of pants and 10 shirts. No signs that the plastic hooks are going to break, no issues at all. My experience has been VERY GOOD. I have no issues and frankly for the price I certainly recommend this product. Why pay more for something else when this has exceeded my expectations.

It fits very well in my car, and holds up with the shirts I hang from it. I have a little bit of slipping, but that could be from the handles it hangs on in the cab. 5/5

This clothes bar for the backseat is economical and quality so much better than expected! BEST ever, east to expand, super durable and strong -- also an attractive accessory for the car!

Does the job it's intend to. Easily adjusted to span over the back seat. Seems strong enough to handle quite a bit. The anti-slip cover and raised rings are a nice feature and keep hanging cloths from sliding from one end to the other when turning corners. Recommended.

This works perfectly in our truck bed we have a cap on to hang our clothes. It's very sturdy, fits great and holds a good bit of weight.

We have two and the ease of installation is great, build quality is good.

This is a heavy duty cloths bar. If you hang it from the plastic clothes hooks found in most cars I am confident that the plastic hooks would break long before the hefty metal loops on the bar would give way. Alternatively, the black hangers on the ends of the bar can be used to mount the bar on the passenger assist handles. These hangers are a very strong reinforced plastic, probably as strong as the assist handles in the car. The bar itself is heavy gauge steel. This bar is so much better than the aluminum clothes bar I previously had that I'm glad I forgot to take the old one out of the car when I traded it in. This one fits both our little C-Max Hybrid and our Jeep Grand Cherokee SUV. The one small deficiency is that the rubber grips cover only part of the bar when it is extended to fit, and we typically like to hang clothes on both sides leaving the center rear view unobstructed. However, a simple solution was to get a piece of black foam pipe insulation at the hardware store, cut it to length and slip it over the bare end. This keeps the clothes hangers from sliding just as well as the bar's own rubber grips.

The bar is well built, expands nicely, and has two types of connectors depending upon which type of rear hook or handle in your vehicle.As my F150 only has a hook on each side I can only use the metal rings to hang it from. The problem is that with minimal or no clothes on the bar, it is not secured sufficiently to handle even mild road bumps, and falls off the truck mounted hooks.
