Lines: 16 A question concerning coating the rear window glass of an hatchback automobile. I have a 1982 hatchback automobile. I would like to mask out the character- istic of the suns light which causes the fading of the car interior under the rear window. Hopefully I could meet this objective without installing a sun shade. I have considered applying some type of coating on the glass but I don't know if this will solve the problem. My uncertainty arises from an article which I read about 8 years ago in Consumer Report on sunglasses. The article stated that nonglass sunglasses would not filter out the UV rays of the sun. Could a nonglass coating applied to the hatchback glass pre- vent the fading of the car interior? Mike Petersen Western Electric RV @ BTL IH !ihuxj!mgp
