I know I need to. But I have never done it and when I looked it up on this site, I did not find what I felt I needed: what's the best tuft length and what's the best spacing?

So you mean attach tufts to either side of a vertical section bisecting the trunk lid and rear window from the top of the window to the end of the lid?
( Basically just a rectangular piece of coroplast / cardboard that would have one edge cut at an angle to meet up with the back window.

That's a clever idea.

I would need duct tape and that would leave awful residue on the paint. Instead, I just taped up the edges of the cardboard and tightened the assembly so it fits more snugly. That, I think and hope, can be sufficient.
