Short answer
Offshore tints the Honda CR-V and CR-V Hybrid at 430 Hookahi St in Wailuku with ProLayers automotive window film. The job is four doors, the rear quarter glass and the hatch, cut from a pattern for your generation, and it takes about two and a half to four hours depending on the film tier. Front doors stay at the 35% VLT Hawaii requires, measured through film and glass, and ProLayers film has no metal layer, so Honda Sensing keeps working.
Key takeaways
- Each CR-V generation has different glass, so the film is cut from a pattern for 2012 to 2016, 2017 to 2022 or 2023 and newer.
- The CR-V Hybrid uses the same glass as the gas CR-V of the same generation, so the job and the quote are the same.
- Front door glass stays at 35% VLT or lighter for Hawaii; the rear-glass rule does not name SUVs, so the shop confirms the shade for the rear doors, quarter glass and hatch before cutting.
- ProLayers film has no metal layer, so the Honda Sensing camera and radar, the phone and the radio work as before.
- The power moonroof on EX and higher trims can be filmed as an add-on to cut heat from above.

How it works
- 01Tell us the year and trim
Model year picks the pattern; trim tells us whether there is a moonroof to plan for.
- 02Glass and sensor check
We note the Honda Sensing camera, the hatch wiper and any old film before we cut.
- 03Prep
Every window gets an ammonia-free clean, and old film or adhesive is removed if present.
- 04Cut and install
Film is computer-cut to your CR-V's windows, applied wet, squeegeed flat and heat-shrunk to the hatch glass.
- 05Inspect and cure
Every pane is checked before pickup. Leave the windows up for three to five days while the film sets.
What's specific to this vehicle
- Glass
- A CR-V has four door windows, a fixed quarter window behind each rear door and a hatch glass with a wiper and defroster lines. That is the crossover glass layout in our quote. The hatch glass is curved, so the film is heat-shrunk to shape before it goes on.
- Generations
- The 2012 to 2016, 2017 to 2022 and 2023 and newer CR-V each use different door, quarter and hatch glass, so a pattern from one generation will not fit another. We cut from the pattern for your model year rather than trimming on the glass.
- Hybrid
- The CR-V Hybrid shares its glass with the gas CR-V of the same generation. The hybrid battery and electrical system are not affected by window film, so there is nothing special to plan for.
- ADAS
- Honda Sensing uses a camera at the top of the windshield behind the mirror for lane keeping, adaptive cruise and collision mitigation. ProLayers film has no metallic layer, and a windshield film on the ceramic tiers is cut around the camera housing, never over it.
- Roof
- EX and higher trims carry a power moonroof. It can be filmed as an add-on, which adds about an hour and cuts the heat that comes through the glass overhead when the shade is open.
- Tint levels
- Hawaii requires front door glass to pass at least 35% of visible light through film and glass, with a 6% tolerance when the tint is metered at inspection. Hawaii's any-shade rule for rear glass names sedans, vans and trucks but not SUVs, so the shop confirms the shade for the CR-V's rear doors, quarter glass and hatch before it cuts. A windshield strip is legal down to the AS-1 line, and a clear windshield film is allowed if the AS-1 area still reads 70%.

A morning job, cut to your generation
The CR-V is a straightforward window tint job at Offshore if the film is cut from the right pattern. Honda changed the glass with each generation, so a 2015, a 2020 and a 2024 CR-V each need their own cut. We plot from the pattern for your model year, so nothing is trimmed on the glass, and the CR-V is done in about two and a half to four hours depending on the film tier.
What gets filmed
Four door windows, a fixed quarter window behind each rear door and the hatch glass. The hatch is the pane that takes the most care: it is curved and carries a wiper and defroster lines, so the film is heat-shrunk to its shape on the outside of the glass before it goes on the inside. Done that way, it sits flat with no lifting at the edges.
If your CR-V is an EX or higher, it has a power moonroof, and filming that glass is an add-on of about an hour. It matters more than people expect on a CR-V that sits in an open lot all afternoon, because the sun comes through the roof glass even with the shade half open.
Hybrid or gas
The CR-V Hybrid uses the same glass as the gas CR-V of its generation. The battery and the hybrid electrical system have nothing to do with the windows, so the hybrid gets the same film, the same hours and the same quote.
Honda Sensing
Every recent CR-V carries Honda Sensing, with a camera at the top of the windshield behind the mirror that handles lane keeping, adaptive cruise and collision mitigation. ProLayers film has no metallic layer, so it does not interfere with the camera, the radar, your phone or the radio. If you add a windshield film on V10 or V16, we cut around the camera housing and leave its window clear.
Shade and film
Hawaii requires at least 35% VLT on the front door glass, measured through the film and the glass together, with a 6% tolerance when the annual safety inspection meters it. The statute lets sedans, vans and trucks with mirrors on both sides run any shade on the rear glass, but it does not name SUVs, so the shop confirms the rear shade for a CR-V before cutting. Mirrored film is out, the third brake light stays clear, and Hawaii has no medical exemption for darker fronts. The full rules are on the Hawaii window tint law page.
V10 Ceramic IR is the usual starting point, because ceramic film rejects the infrared heat that carbon mostly lets through; ceramic vs carbon tint explains the difference in plain terms. If the CR-V puts in daily highway miles, V16 is worth the extra time. For bigger Hondas, see Honda Pilot window tint.
What to send
Year, trim and whether you want the moonroof or windshield done. That sets the hours and the film tier, and we can hold a morning slot so the CR-V is back the same day.
Questions
How much does it cost to tint a Honda CR-V on Maui?
Tint is quoted from the labor hours for the CR-V's glass layout and the film tier you pick, plus Hawaii GET. A moonroof or windshield film adds hours. Send the year and trim for the exact number.
How long does CR-V window tint take?
About two and a half hours on V6 Comfort, three on V10 Ceramic IR and three and three quarters on V16 Ceramic IR MAX. A moonroof adds about an hour.
Will tint affect Honda Sensing?
No. ProLayers film has no metal layer, and a windshield film is cut around the camera housing rather than over it.
Can you tint the CR-V moonroof?
Yes, as an add-on for trims that have one. It cuts the heat that comes through the glass when the shade is open.
What is the darkest legal tint for a CR-V in Hawaii?
Front door glass must pass at least 35% of light through film and glass, with a 6% tolerance at inspection. Hawaii lets sedans, vans and trucks run any shade behind the driver, but SUVs are not named in the statute, so the shop confirms the rear shade for a CR-V at booking. Every CR-V leaves with the compliance certificate Hawaii requires, which stays in the vehicle.
Is the CR-V Hybrid any different to tint?
No. It uses the same glass as the gas CR-V of the same generation, so the film, the hours and the price are the same.
