What’s the price to tint a Nissan Kicks?
A Kicks starts at $260 for everything behind the front seats in LLumar ATC. That’s the shop’s SUV rear package: the rear door windows, any fixed side glass and the liftgate window, plotter-cut for the model year so no blade goes near the glass or seals.
| Kicks glass | Coverage | From |
|---|---|---|
| Rear package, ATC | Rear doors, fixed side glass, liftgate window | $260 |
| Rear package, IRX or AIR ceramic | Same windows | Quoted per package |
| Panoramic moonroof | SV Premium, SR and SR Premium | Quoted per vehicle |
| Front door glass | 2 | $140; breaks BC’s tint rule |
| Windshield, from the inside | Full | $200, not road-legal in BC |
Film and workmanship are both under a lifetime warranty. A visit that combines the rear package with ceramic or the roof is usually priced below the separate figures added up. Every package is on the tint price list.
Does your Kicks trim have factory privacy glass?
Only from the SV up. On Nissan Canada’s 2027 Kicks specifications, “Tinted windows” appears on every trim, but “Rear privacy glass” is listed only on these:
| 2027 Kicks trim | Rear privacy glass | Panoramic moonroof |
|---|---|---|
| S FWD, S AWD | Not listed | No |
| SV FWD, SV AWD | Yes | No |
| SV Premium AWD | Yes | Yes |
| SR AWD, SR Premium AWD | Yes | Yes |
| Rock Creek AWD | Yes | No |
That one line changes the advice. On an S, the shade you choose is close to the result you get, because there’s no dark layer underneath it. On an SV, SR or Rock Creek, film sits on glass that’s already dark, and the two multiply. Earlier model years aren’t covered by this table, so give the shop your year.
Which film shade suits an S, and which suits an SV or SR?
On an S, pick the look you want straight from the film: ATC or IRX at 35% gives a mid shade, and 15% or 5% goes properly dark. On an SV, SR or Rock Creek, start lighter, or choose near-clear AIR 80 and keep Nissan’s factory shade.
Film and glass multiply: 20% film on glass that passes 20% of the light leaves about 4%. Nissan publishes no transmission number for the Kicks privacy glass, so stand beside the car in daylight with the shop’s samples. For heat, LLumar’s performance data shows IRX rejecting 50–62% of total solar energy against 28–44% for ATC, while AIR 80 passes 77% of visible light and still rejects 60% of IR energy (IRER). All of them stop over 99% of UV. The trade-off between film and factory glass is laid out in window tint versus factory privacy glass.
What does Nissan say about the Kicks windshield?
Keep the camera area clear. Nissan’s 2025 Kicks owner’s manual places the lane camera unit above the inside mirror and tells owners: “Do not attach a sticker (including transparent material) or install an accessory near the camera unit.” It also describes a multi-sensing front camera on the windshield, in front of the mirror, that reads speed-limit signs.
Add BC’s limit of 75 mm at the top of the glass and a Kicks windshield is best left alone. If glare from the top edge bothers you, a strip within that 75 mm is the only legal windshield film, and with the camera housing sitting up there, talk it through with the shop first. Windshield tint with a driver-assist camera explains why even a narrow strip needs care.
Front door film on a Kicks: what BC allows
None. MVAR s. 7.05(8) permits film behind the driver, on the rear window when there are outside mirrors on both sides, and in the top 75 mm of the windshield. The Kicks’ front doors are beside the driver, so even a clear film there is outside the rule, ticketed at typically $109 and rejected at inspection under item 13d.
This matters most on an S, where dark film on the rear windows can make the bare front doors stand out. The shop will fit front film if you insist and explains the risk before you decide; can you tint front windows in BC has the full picture.
Getting a Kicks booked in
Send the model year and trim, for example a 2027 SV AWD or SR Premium, plus the film you have in mind and whether the moonroof is in. You’ll get the rear package price back, plus a figure for ceramic or the roof if you asked about them. Most compact SUVs are done in a day. Book through the Kicks tint quote form; the SUV window tint page explains how the rear package is put together.
