I never did it, but I speculated that you could have a bubble-wrap "drape" hanging behind the front seats. You know, the kind with shiny aluminium foil on both sides. This would be very similar to what Old Tele man did. This should work on my car because all my A/C vents are in the dashboard before the front seats. Because cold air sinks (like a top-loading refrigerator), the bubble-wrap drape *should* keep the cold air from migrating to the rear of the cabin. It's maximum height would be dictated by rear-visibilty.

Ha ha, I just realized that I could also "seal" the underseat gap with cheap pipe-insulation.

Thankfully it wasn't hot enough last summer to resort to this tactic.
