Default What are these for?

Searched this site, my DVD and owners manual, to no avail. Picures were taken from the back seat of my 2013 2door Sport. Thought maybe they were to strap the fold and tumble rear seat, but coudn't see how that would work. HELP!!!!

Haha. Subscribed. Wondered the same thing since I saw them. Just didn't care enough to ask. My guess is they're useless filler thingamabobs. Tried yanking them out to no avail too. I'll be embarrassed if they turn out to be of anything important though.

I think that's where the rear window controls go if you have power windows. I guess they felt like they needed something there.

They are supposedly trash/grocery bag holders. For a 4dr, that's where the window switches go but for a 2dr they obviously don't need them so they put in those hooks instead of spending more money making a new center console for a 2dr

Off topic, but

Could have used some grocery bag holders the other day, almost lost some groceries while running doorless.

They are for plastic grocery bags. You put the handles together and slip them over the hook. Other Chrysler products have them in the trunk.

Thanks for all the replies. So, if I understand this right, if I had power windows these buttons would automatically unzip my rear windows?
