I've seen rear tents in Canadian Tire catalogues, shown for the mini-van
types.  You might try the rear 'shower-cap' design that fits over the lips of the
rear weather striping, not a 'tent' but lets air in/out.  I plan to make a 'tent'
from rip-stop nylon to hang from an open rear lid.  good luck,  Malcolm S
