What does Forester window tint cost?
Every window behind a Forester’s front doors starts at $260 in LLumar ATC dyed film: both rear doors, the cargo-area side windows and the hatch. Ceramic upgrades get their own package price, and the sunroof gets a separate quote.
| Forester glass | Film | From |
|---|---|---|
| Rear doors, cargo windows, hatch | LLumar ATC dyed | $260 |
| The same glass in ceramic | LLumar IRX or AIR | Quoted per package |
| Front doors | Any | $140, not road-legal in BC |
| Full windshield | Any | $200, only the top 75 mm is legal |
| Power sunroof (Touring and up) | Any | Quoted per vehicle |
Included: genuine LLumar film, patterns plotted for your Forester’s model year, hand fitting with heat, and a lifetime warranty covering both materials and workmanship. Bundles usually come in below the list prices added together; the tint price sheet lists every package.
What glass does the 2026 Forester come with?
Subaru Canada calls the 2026 Forester the sixth generation, and its spec sheet lists the glass by trim. Most of it is standard across all six.
| 2026 Forester | Convenience | Touring, Sport, Limited, Premier, Hybrid Premier |
|---|---|---|
| Privacy glass, rear and cargo windows | Yes | Yes |
| Laminated UV-protection windshield | Yes | Yes |
| Windshield wiper de-icer | Yes | Yes |
| Rear wiper with washer | Yes | Yes |
| Rear defogger with timer | Yes | Yes |
| Power-sliding sunroof with sunshade (large) | No | Yes |
The privacy glass means the back half of the car is already darker than the front. Subaru doesn’t publish how dark, and film multiplies with it: 20% film over 20% glass comes out near 4%. Look at the glass in daylight before choosing; the comparison of film and factory privacy glass explains what each layer does. Subaru also fits a wiper and a defogger to the rear window. The answer on tinting over defroster lines explains how film sits over the grid, and should it ever need removing, steam does the work instead of a blade, so the grid survives.
How does EyeSight affect windshield tint on a Forester?
It’s the reason to be careful with the windshield. EyeSight is standard on every 2026 Forester, and this generation adds a wide-angle mono camera. Subaru Canada describes the system as watching the road with as many as three cameras, the number depending on model and year.
Subaru has set out windshield rules for EyeSight since at least 2013. Its service bulletin 06-45-13R for the 2014 Forester reprints the EyeSight manual’s windshield precautions: prohibited grey zones on the windshield “where items or stickers must never be placed”, a warning that reflections can affect the stereo camera, and a rule that water-repellent windshield coatings “must never be used”. That bulletin covers an older generation, so check the EyeSight section of your own manual for the current wording. Other carmakers’ versions of this warning are compared in windshield tint and driver-assist cameras.
Can the Forester’s sunroof be tinted?
Yes, from the Touring upward, the trims Subaru gives a large power-sliding sunroof with a manual sunshade. Each roof is priced on its own. With the shade pulled back, film trims the heat and glare coming through, and near-clear AIR does it without darkening the view up. Measuring and fitting roof glass is explained on the sunroof and panoramic roof page.
What does BC law allow on a Forester?
The rear doors, cargo windows and hatch can take any shade, the hatch because a Forester has outside mirrors left and right. MVAR s. 7.05(8) keeps film off the front door glass completely and limits the windshield to its top 75 mm. On a Forester, check the manual’s EyeSight zones before asking for even that strip. Tickets, orders and inspections are explained in BC’s rules on front-window film.
How do you book Forester tint in Langley?
Send the year and trim; the trim settles whether there’s a sunroof to quote. Plan on two to four hours, and the car usually goes home that day. For three to five days after, the windows stay closed; from then on, clean the inside of the glass with soft microfibre and an ammonia-free cleaner. The Forester tint quote form takes the details, or text them to the shop’s number, 604 534 6433.
