clothes hanger for the roadster

Thanks guys for your responses, but I don't have the OEM rear windscreen and don't plan on buying it ($500 plus); I just need to hang a suit from time to time and was wondering if anyone had experience with this particular hanger, as I think it looks better than the roadster solutions hanging bag. If someone has tried it and it didn't work, if it sticks out too far, etc., or if it's working brilliantly, I'd like your input.
Don't spend money on something you can make from things you probably have at home!
When I go on a roadtrip, I take all my shirts, trousers, and jackets out of the boot to leave space for everything else. I've a couple of soft woven nylon straps with velcro on the ends. These I wind around the top of the tombstone seat, through the seatbelt guide at the shoulder sticking the velcro to the strap. From this I hang a suit carrier containing my clothes. It does need the seats to be moved forwards, but I've programmed fully forward and upright into memory four, so I just press it and let it get on with it. It's very easy to hang something behind the driver's seat whilst sitting in the passenger seat, and vice versa

that looks nice but i know if my car it wouldn't really fit since i have the seats pretty far back, did you check how much clearance you have when you are seated normally?
:lol:

I used to keep the drivers seat all the way back, but I find it more comfortable for long drives to pull it in closer to the SW (less back and arm strain). So, I'd have plenty of room for the suit, jacket, etc., but I'm not sure how far it sticks out behind the seat. It looks like it fits pretty snugly against the back of the seat, but the stock photo isn't the best. I was hoping for a forum member's review. I'm going to try BMWZ4MC's suggestion of tying something around the headpiece prongs, perhaps similar in color to the seat leather.
One thing I've learned: the areas behind the seats of the roadster (the seat back and the rear cabin wall) gets REALLY dirty from top-down driving. You must clean that area each time you carry a suit, or hang it in a dry cleaner's bag to keep it clean.
