Short answer
Offshore tints the Chevy Silverado with ProLayers film on Maui, cut for Regular Cab, Double Cab or Crew Cab and for the rear slider if the truck has one. Front doors stay at 35% VLT or lighter, measured through film and glass as Hawaii requires; the rear doors and back glass can be any shade because the truck has mirrors on both sides. A Crew Cab with back glass takes roughly two and a half to three and a half hours, and the quote comes from those labor hours and the film tier.
Key takeaways
- Regular, Double and Crew Cab Silverados all have different door glass, so patterns are cut per cab.
- Front doors are installed at 35% VLT or lighter; rear doors and the back glass can be any shade since the truck has mirrors on both sides.
- The rear sliding window is tinted as part of the full package, with the film cut precisely around the slider track.
- ProLayers ceramic film has no metal layer, so GPS, cell signal, lane departure warning and forward collision alert work as before.
- Most Silverados are a two- to three-and-a-half-hour job; a Regular Cab is quicker.

How it works
- 01Tell us the cab and year
Regular, Double or Crew, 1500 or HD, and whether it has the rear slider. That sets the pattern and the hours.
- 02Glass and sensor check
We note the camera behind the mirror, any existing film and the slider track before cutting.
- 03Prep
Every window gets an ammonia-free clean. Old dealer film comes off if present. Nothing is cut on your glass.
- 04Cut and install
Film is computer-cut for the Silverado's cab, applied wet, squeegeed flat and heat-shrunk to the back glass.
- 05Inspect and cure
We check every window and the slider edges before pickup. Keep the windows up for three to five days.
What's specific to this vehicle
- Cab
- Regular Cab has two doors and the back glass. Double Cab has four doors with short rear doors and smaller rear glass. Crew Cab has four full doors. The three use different door patterns, and the quote follows the cab: a Regular Cab is the smallest truck job in our estimator, a Crew Cab the default four-door-plus-back-glass layout.
- Glass
- Many Silverados have a rear sliding window. We tint it as part of the full package and cut precisely around the slider track so it still moves freely. HD trucks often have a slightly different rear window configuration; we confirm it at drop-off.
- ADAS
- Lane departure warning and forward collision alert read through a camera at the top of the windshield. Our ceramic film is non-metallic, so those systems, GPS and cell signal are unaffected. Windshield film on the ceramic tiers is cut around the camera window.
- Tint levels
- Front doors at 35% VLT or lighter, measured through film and glass as Hawaii requires, with a 6% tolerance when the tint is metered at inspection. Rear doors and back glass can be any shade because the truck has mirrors on both sides. The usual Silverado setup is a legal front with a dark rear, which also hides tools and gear in the back seat.
- Trims
- Trail Boss and ZR2 use the same glass as a standard Crew Cab: same film, same process, same price. 2500HD and 3500HD trucks share similar cab glass shapes with the 1500, and fleet trucks and personal rigs get the same process.

Cut by cab
A Silverado is not one truck on the tint bench; it is three. Regular Cab has two doors and the back glass. Double Cab has four doors with short rear doors and a smaller rear pane. Crew Cab has four full doors.
Each cab uses its own patterns, and our window tint estimator prices the job from the hours for that layout: a Regular Cab is the smallest truck job we do, and a Crew Cab is the standard four-door-plus-back-glass install. Tell us the cab when you ask for a quote and the number is right the first time.
The rear slider
Many Silverados have a rear sliding window. We tint it as part of the full package, and the film is cut precisely around the slider track, which means the window still opens and the edges do not catch. HD trucks often have a slightly different rear window configuration, so we confirm it at drop-off rather than assume.
Safety systems and signal
Lane departure warning and forward collision alert read through a camera at the top of the windshield. ProLayers ceramic film has no metal in it, so those systems, GPS and cell signal work as they did. If you add windshield film on the V10 or V16 tier, we cut it around the camera window rather than across it.
Shade and the law
Hawaii sets the front doors at 35% VLT or lighter, measured through the film and the glass together, with a 6% tolerance when the annual safety inspection meters it. The rear doors and back glass can be any shade because the truck has mirrors on both sides. The usual Silverado setup is a legal front and a dark rear, which keeps the cab cooler and hides whatever is on the back seat at a jobsite. Mirrored film is out, and on a 2013 or newer Silverado the third brake light stays clear. Every Silverado leaves with the compliance certificate Hawaii requires, which stays in the truck. The full rule set is on the Hawaii window tint law page.
1500, HD, Trail Boss and ZR2
Trail Boss and ZR2 trucks use the standard Crew Cab glass, so there are no special considerations: same film, same process, same price. 2500HD and 3500HD cabs share similar glass shapes with the 1500, and they get the same process whether it is a fleet truck or a personal rig.
Why ceramic on a truck
A Silverado parked at a jobsite all day gets hot fast. V6 Comfort carbon gives you the look and the UV block; V10 and V16 add infrared rejection, which is what makes the seat and the steering wheel bearable at the end of the day. Ceramic tint for trucks goes deeper on the difference. If the truck sees gravel, Silverado PPF on the hood and bumper is the usual pairing.
Scheduling
A Crew Cab is a morning drop-off and an early-afternoon pickup; a Regular Cab is quicker. Keep the windows up for three to five days while the film cures, and the slider closed. Request a quote with the year, cab and whether it has a slider and we will send the figure with Hawaii GET and the drop-off times that fit.
Questions
How much does it cost to tint a Silverado on Maui?
Tint is quoted from the labor hours for your cab and the film tier, plus Hawaii GET, with a deposit to book. A Regular Cab is the smallest truck job and a Crew Cab the standard one. Request a quote with the cab style for the exact number.
How long does Silverado window tint take?
Most Silverados are done in two to three hours; a Crew Cab on the V16 tier runs closer to three and a half. A Regular Cab is quicker. Morning drop-off, afternoon pickup.
What is the darkest legal tint for a Silverado in Hawaii?
Front doors must pass at least 35% of light through film and glass, with a 6% tolerance at inspection. Rear doors and the back glass can be any shade because the truck has mirrors on both sides. The windshield takes a top strip down to the AS-1 line, or 4 inches from the top where there is no AS-1 mark, or a clear film that keeps the AS-1 area at 70%. Hawaii has no medical exemption for darker fronts.
Will tint affect my Silverado's safety systems?
No. The film has no metal in it, so GPS, cell signal, lane departure warning and forward collision alert work as before.
Do you tint the rear slider?
Yes. The rear sliding window is tinted as part of the full package, cut precisely around the slider track so it still opens.
Do you tint 2500HD and 3500HD trucks?
Yes, personal and fleet trucks alike. HD cab glass is similar to the 1500, and we confirm the rear window configuration at drop-off.
Does tint help with interior fading in a Silverado?
Yes. The film blocks UV, which is what cracks dashboards and fades seats in a truck that sits outside at a jobsite all day.
Can you tint the windshield on a Silverado?
On the V10 and V16 ceramic tiers, yes. Below the AS-1 line Hawaii allows only a clear film that keeps that area reading 70%, so a full windshield film is a light ceramic film that cuts heat and glare without a dark shade.
