How much does it cost to tint a Toyota 4Runner?
From $260 in LLumar ATC for everything behind the front doors: the rear door windows, the quarter glass and the power rear window. Ceramic film, the moonroof and any front glass are extra.
| 4Runner glass | From |
|---|---|
| Rear doors, quarter glass, power rear window in ATC | $260 |
| The same glass in IRX or AIR ceramic | Quoted per package |
| Moonroof (most grades) | Quoted per vehicle |
| Front doors | $140, not road-legal in BC |
| Full windshield, from the inside | $200, not road-legal in BC |
The film is cut on the shop’s plotter from the 4Runner pattern for your year, then heat-shaped and squeegeed into place by hand, with a lifetime warranty on film and labour. Booking several jobs together usually comes in under their list prices added up. The whole menu is on the window tint price list.
Can the 4Runner’s roll-down rear window take film?
Yes, and it’s tinted like any moving door glass. Toyota calls the power rear window “a signature element found across all generations of 4Runner” on its 4Runner page, and the sixth generation kept it.
The film goes on the inside face, so it travels with the glass into the back door. What changes is the aftercare. Toyota’s 2025 4Runner owner’s manual says the window can be opened from the cabin switch or with the key from outside, and that the rear wiper, washer and defogger won’t work unless it’s fully closed. Keep it up, and leave the key’s rear window button alone, for three to five days while the film cures. The defroster lines keep working under the film; tinting over rear defroster lines explains why.
How dark are a 4Runner’s rear side windows from the factory?
Darker than the front doors. Toyota Canada’s 2026 4Runner specifications list rear side window privacy glass on every grade, from the SR5 to the Trailhunter, with no light-transmission figure published.
Behind the rear doors sits the quarter glass Toyota’s 2025 launch release calls the legacy “wrap over” quarter glass, brought back as a nod to the first and second generations. Like the rest of the glass behind the driver, it can take any shade in BC. Film over dark glass adds up quickly: two layers that each pass about a fifth of the light leave around 4%. If you mainly want heat out, LLumar AIR 80 keeps 77% of visible light and rejects 60% of infrared energy (IRER) on LLumar’s spec sheet, with over 99% UV blocked.
Which 4Runner glass is acoustic, and what’s on the windshield?
The front side glass on every 2026 grade, plus the windshield on most of them. Toyota Canada lists acoustic front side glass across the range and an acoustic windshield on every grade except the SR5 and TRD Sport. Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 is standard, and the Platinum adds a head-up display.
Those front panes are the ones BC keeps clear. MVAR s. 7.05(8) allows film on side windows behind the driver, on the rear window with mirrors on both sides, and only on the top 75 mm of the windshield. Toyota’s manual says separately: “Do not attach window tint to the windshield.” Front-door film is fitted on request but isn’t road-legal; Mission RCMP says a ticket typically means $109 and police can order the vehicle inspected. The shop explains that before you choose, and can you tint front windows in BC has the full rule.
Does a 2010–2024 4Runner use the same pattern?
No. Toyota dates the fifth generation from 2010 to 2024 and the sixth from 2025, and the newer body has different glass, including the returning wrap-over quarter windows. Give the shop your year and the film is cut for that generation.
Both generations have the roll-down rear window, so the aftercare is the same: keep it closed until the film has cured.
How do you book 4Runner tint in Langley?
Send the model year and grade, the film you have in mind and whether the moonroof is part of the job. On a 2026, every grade except the SR5 and Trailhunter has one.
Most 4Runners are done in a day. Afterwards, keep every window up, rear window included, for three to five days, and clean the film with soft microfibre and an ammonia-free cleaner. Request a price on the 4Runner tint quote form. For the paint, see 4Runner PPF, ceramic coating for the 4Runner and the 4Runner chrome delete.
