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?
