For the 370Z, with the big rear window in the coupe, it would make sense to shade that too, but quite a bother. I just lay a sunshade on top of the cargo area cover and it raises and lowers itself when I raise the hatch. It doesn't fill the window, but instead of the sun hitting the black cargo cover and heating it, much of the light radiates right back up through the back window.

Keeps the interior noticeably cooler than simply using the front sun screen alone.

For what it's worth...
