Hyundai window tint

One brand, three kinds of glass

Hyundai covers a lot of ground. An Elantra is a compact sedan with a steep back glass. A Palisade is a three-row SUV with quarter windows, cargo glass and a panoramic roof. An Ioniq 5 is an EV with so much glass it feels like a greenhouse on a hot afternoon. Each one gets its own pattern and its own hour count, and our window tint quote is built from those hours and the film tier, so a Tucson and a Sonata never get the same guess.

This page sits under the vehicles hub.

Elantra and Sonata

Both sedans are four doors and the back glass. The rear window on each is wide and steeply raked with a tight defroster grid, so the film is heat-shrunk to the curve before it goes in and then laid flat over the grid. The Sonata’s back glass is the bigger of the two and takes the most attention at the edges.

For a daily commuter, V6 Comfort gives the privacy and the UV block; V10 is what makes the car cooler when it has sat in an open Kahului lot since 8 a.m. As sedans, both can run any shade behind the driver under Hawaii law.

Tucson, Santa Fe and Palisade

The SUVs add fixed rear quarter windows and cargo glass. Most come with factory privacy glass on the rear rows, which looks dark but lets heat straight through. A ceramic film over it, light or dark, is what actually cools the second and third rows. The panoramic sunroof is the biggest single heat source in the cabin and can be filmed as an add-on. On a Palisade full of kids, that roof is the first upgrade we suggest.

Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 6

Hyundai’s EVs have big glass areas, and many Ioniq 5 trims carry a large fixed roof. Heat that comes through the glass is heat the air conditioning has to remove, and in an EV that draw comes from the battery. V10 Ceramic IR or V16 Ceramic IR MAX rejects the infrared part of sunlight, which is the part you feel on your arm. The EV PPF and window tint page covers both services for electric cars.

SmartSense

Hyundai SmartSense reads through a camera behind the windshield and a radar at the front of the car, with radar in the rear corners for blind spot monitoring. ProLayers film has no metal in it, and windshield film is cut around the camera window, so every SmartSense feature keeps working. The Kia page covers Hyundai’s sister brand the same way.

Shade and scheduling

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 statute lets sedans, vans and trucks with mirrors on both sides run any shade on the rear glass, which covers the Elantra, Sonata and Ioniq 6, but it does not name SUVs, so the shop confirms the rear shade on the Tucson, Santa Fe, Palisade and Ioniq 5 before cutting. Mirrored film is out, the third brake light stays clear, and Hawaii has no medical exemption for darker fronts; the Hawaii window tint law page has the full rule.

Most Hyundais are a morning drop-off and an afternoon pickup, with extra time for a sunroof. Leave the windows up for three to five days while the film cures. Request a quote with the model, the year and whether it has the panoramic roof.
