What does it cost to tint a Chevrolet Traverse?
The rear glass starts at $260 in LLumar ATC: both second-row doors, the third-row side windows and the liftgate glass. IRX nano-ceramic or AIR clear ceramic is quoted per package, and the sunroof is a separate quote.
| Traverse glass | Film | From |
|---|---|---|
| Second-row doors, third-row windows, liftgate | LLumar ATC dyed | $260 |
| The same seven-seat rear glass | LLumar IRX or AIR ceramic | Quoted per package |
| Dual-pane sunroof, front and rear | Any | Quoted per Traverse |
| Front door windows | Any | $140, not allowed on BC roads |
| Windshield from inside | Any | $200, but only the top 75 mm is road-legal |
The film is cut on a plotter to the Traverse’s year and model, then heat-shrunk onto each window by hand without a blade near the glass. A lifetime warranty covers the film and the shop’s workmanship. For other vehicles, see the window tint price list.
How dark is the Traverse’s deep-tinted glass already?
Dark on every window behind the front doors. Chevrolet Canada’s 2027 Traverse comparison lists deep-tinted glass, option code AKO, as standard on the LT, Z71, RS and High Country, and describes it as “all windows, except the driver and front passenger side glass”. The rear side windows are also listed as solar-absorbing with privacy tinting.
Chevrolet gives no figure for the 2027 glass. For 2022 and older GM vehicles, GM’s bulletin 21-NA-152 puts privacy glass with that same AKO code at a nominal 20% light transmission. On glass like that, AIR 80, which measures 77% on LLumar’s spec sheet, would finish near 15%, while IRX 35 would take it to about 8%. More on the clear option is on the LLumar AIR page.
Will dark rear film affect the Traverse’s Rear Camera Mirror?
Not its camera view. Chevrolet’s Rear Camera Mirror, standard on the Z71, RS and High Country and available on the LT, shows a camera picture in place of the reflected view through the back glass. Chevrolet also fits every 2027 Traverse with a washer that sprays the rear camera’s lens directly, which means its lens sits outside the vehicle rather than behind the back glass.
Flip the mirror back to the ordinary reflected view and you’re looking through the liftgate and third-row glass again, film and all. If you drive at night with the camera view switched off, pick the rear shade with that in mind.
Is the Traverse’s dual-pane sunroof worth filming?
If the Traverse is parked outside through a Fraser Valley summer, it’s worth a quote. Chevrolet Canada describes the panoramic power sunroof as dual-pane, spanning the front and rear rows, with a power sunshade. It’s standard on the RS and High Country and available on the LT and Z71.
The shade blocks light when it’s closed; film works on the glass when the shade is open. Each pane gets its own piece of film; tinting a sunroof or panoramic roof explains the pricing.
What BC allows on a Traverse’s windshield and front doors
No film on the front door glass, and nothing on the windshield below its top 75 mm, under MVAR s. 7.05(8). Everything behind the driver may take any shade, including the liftgate, because the Traverse has outside mirrors on both sides.
Chevrolet builds some hardware into the 2027 windshield. Chevrolet lists an LED reflective collision alert that flashes red on the windshield on every trim, plus heated wiper-park grids on the RS and High Country. Front-door or full-windshield film is fitted only at a customer’s request, and only after a plain warning: it is not road-legal at any shade, police can issue a $109 ticket and order the film off, and an inspection fails it. The background is in tinting front windows in BC.
How to book Traverse tint in Langley
Send the year, the trim and whether the sunroof is fitted, and say which film you’re considering. If there’s a Buick Enclave in the family too, the Enclave tint page covers its glass.
Most Traverses go home the same day. Leave the side windows closed for three to five days while the film cures; a little haze early on is normal. Ask through the Traverse tint quote form or call 604 534 6433.
