These two inncocent looking hooks make Volvo’s design engineers even great; they have found one common solution to just about anything this forum’s lovely members came up with so far including the real funny ones too 😂

It's a hook to hang your wet coat from whilst loading the dogs into the boot & stowing away the shotguns.
