What state do you live in?

Most states allow any tints for the back window, so you can do 5% limo and no one will see them!

Wisconsin only allows 50 percent light not very dark at all. maybe something like the cargo covers in some cars.

Your law says 35% on the back windows...bummer

The only other thing would be put a blanket over it?

Or you could try to find a trunk liner that allows you to cover from the top of the seats to the window with a liner.

you can get a piece of wood like they make the boxes out of( forget the name mpf or something) and carpet it and lay it over the top( supporting it up and off the sub box obviously) Or get a piece of 600 denier nylon( boat cover material) and stretch that over the top of the rear fenderwells, its very lightweight and does NOT dampen the sound at all and wont rattle. But as far as the rear tint, im quite sure you as an individual can get away with it being 2.5-5% in the rear, I painted my rear window black and never got hasselled in wisconSIN or Illinois( and we all know illinois is the ****tiest state in the union next to cali)

I believe they all came with the option for a cargo concealer. All the blazers ive seen have the hooks in the back where it sits. You can probably order one from GM...

idk if the two doors have it but like tonkpils, mine already has a cover that stretches across from the drivers side over to the passenger side.

depending on what you use, it could rattle a ton. my stock cargo cover is held on with plastic tabs and washer things that are broken and it is BY FAR the most annoying thing in my truck. it rattles while idling. i have tried countless times to stop it but it comes back after a few days anyway
