If you’re anything like me, you want a hat holder in your car. But you’re not quite sure where to install it.

I remember nostalgically as a child, seeing my dad's car hat holder, bolted under the downlight in a beat up Mitsubishi. 

Yet most modern cars now have downlights that sit flush within the roof lining of the car. Making this method for mounting very difficult…

Steps for Mounting your Hat Holder  

Note - this solution works best for the hat holder that I have designed & manufactured. But it possibly can work for other hat hangers, it might require a little bit of fiddling to make it work.

Step 1 - Unbolt your Grab Handle

If your car or 4x4 is any late 90s or early 2000 model, there’s a pretty good chance that it has simple bolt on grab handles. 

These make a very handy spot to mount your hat holder. Especially in your rear seats or in your passenger seat. 

Step 2 - Position your Hat Holder

Check that the screw from your grab handle will fit through your hat holder. The hat holder I designed is made to fit most popular models of 4WDs & cars.

Line up your hat holder with the threaded hole from the grab handle.

Step 3 - Bolt your Grab Handle Down

Bolt your grab handle down, sandwiching the hat holder in between it and the car roof.

Make sure you tighten the screw enough to ensure that the hat hanger won’t move while you’re driving.

Tips for Mounting your Hat Holder  

You can always unclip the spring from your hat hanger to make mounting easier. All you have to do is grab a screw driver & leaver the tensioner off. 

Make sure to use a screw driver to put the tensioner back in place, once you’ve got the hat holder installed.

The Story Behind my Hat Holder

I actually wanted a hat holder in my 4WD that’s why I came up with this product.
The hat holder I ordered, had no easy way to mount into my car & it had no instructions on how to do it.

I thought “I can solve both those problems”. 

And here we are…

I hope you enjoy it!

Cheers,
