Just a thought

To make the cabin cool down faster using the AC I thought about using a see thru curtain that could be hung on the coat hooks behind the rear seats. Only problem is where to buy a material that you wouldn't have a problem seeing thru clearly.
Maybe use 1/8" clear sheet plastic cut to size and use hooks or rings to attach to coat hooks ?
Ideas on this one ?

I’m leaving that up to y’all, we used to have plastic strips hanging in front of the entrance to the refrigerator area, in a warehouse, I used to work in, it wasn’t very efficient.

I did find .080" plastic sheet. Anything to block the air to keep more of it up front.
Yes could use a curtain but want to see out the back window.

I have one on each side and if you want they fold up into the headliner.

Mine is same way, one fold-up hanger on each side.

I don't have all the windows you guys have & my Panel is white & Tinted, so cool down is not a big issue on my rig.

for the sake of safety, no more blind spots than are already there,.
I would suggest to turn the fan onto a higher speed and be safe
just my humble opinion

Acrylic sheets are far less $$ than Plexi-glas and difficult to see through but if you're really mechanically inclined - how about installing a window in between the back seat and cargo area that rolls up-and-down like some of the newer Toyota trucks. I know it's a stretch... LOL
