Short answer
Offshore tints the Toyota 4Runner at 430 Hookahi St in Wailuku with ProLayers automotive window film. The 4Runner's power rear cargo window gets its own pattern so the film clears the track, the fixed quarter glass is filmed to match, and the front doors stay at 35% VLT or lighter, measured through film and glass as Hawaii requires. Most 4Runners are finished in about two to three hours.
Key takeaways
- The 4Runner's rear cargo window rolls down into the liftgate; the film is cut to clear the seal and track so it does not lift when you use it.
- Fifth-generation (2010 to 2024) and sixth-generation (2025 on) 4Runners have different glass; we carry both patterns.
- Toyota Safety Sense lives behind the windshield near the mirror and is never touched by side or rear film.
- TRD Pro, TRD Off-Road, SR5 and Limited share the same glass, so the pattern and labor are the same across trims.
- Quoted by labor hours for the SUV four-door, quarters and cargo-glass layout, plus the film tier you pick.

How it works
- 01Quote by year and trim
Send the year, trim and whether it has a sunroof. We quote from the labor hours for the 4Runner's layout and your film tier.
- 02Glass check
We confirm the generation, look for old film, and note the Safety Sense camera and any antenna before plotting.
- 03Prep
Old film comes off if present. Every window, including the cargo glass track area, gets an ammonia-free clean.
- 04Cut and install
Computer-cut film for your 4Runner, applied wet, squeegeed flat and heat-shrunk to each pane.
- 05Inspect and cure
Each window is checked before pickup. Keep the windows and the cargo glass up for three to five days.
What's specific to this vehicle
- Glass
- Front doors, rear doors, fixed rear quarter glass, and a back glass that powers down into the liftgate. That cargo window is the 4Runner's signature and its tint quirk: the film is trimmed to clear the top seal and side tracks so it survives years of being rolled up and down.
- Generations
- The fifth generation ran from 2010 through 2024 with essentially the same glass the whole time. The 2025 sixth generation is a new body on a new platform with its own patterns, including a reshaped quarter and cargo window. Tell us the year and we plot the right one.
- ADAS
- Toyota Safety Sense uses a camera behind the windshield at the mirror plus a radar in the grille. Neither is near the side or rear glass. On a windshield film install, the camera zone is left clear and no recalibration is needed.
- Tint levels
- Front doors: 35% VLT or lighter through film and glass to stay legal in Hawaii, with a 6% tolerance when the tint is metered at inspection. Rear doors, quarters and cargo glass: Hawaii's any-shade rule names sedans, vans and trucks but not SUVs, so the shop confirms the shade before it cuts; the 4Runner's factory rear privacy glass is tinted glass, not film, so ceramic film over it adds the heat rejection the glass alone does not have. Windshield: a top strip down to the AS-1 line, or a clear film that keeps the AS-1 area at 70%.
- Trim
- TRD Pro, TRD Off-Road, SR5, Limited and Platinum use the same glass. The TRD Pro's blacked-out trim suits the darkest legal front; Limited and Platinum trims can add the sunroof and windshield on a ceramic tier.

The cargo window
Few SUVs on the window tint schedule have a back glass that rolls down into the liftgate. On the 4Runner, that window is the detail that separates a clean job from one that peels in a year. The film has to be trimmed to clear the top seal and the side tracks, and it has to be fully cured before the glass moves.
We cut the cargo window on its own pattern, install it with the glass up, and ask you to leave it up for three to five days. After that, use it as much as you like.
The fixed quarter glass behind the rear doors is filmed to match the cargo window, so from the side the rear reads as one shade. The front doors stay at a legal 35% VLT or lighter, measured through film and glass, and the shop confirms the rear shade for the 4Runner’s body before it cuts.
Fifth and sixth generation
If your 4Runner is a 2010 through 2024, it is the fifth generation and the glass barely changed in fifteen years, which is why patterns for it are so well sorted. The 2025 sixth generation is new from the ground up: a different quarter window, a different cargo glass and a different windshield rake. We carry both. Tell us the year when you request a quote and the right pattern gets plotted before you arrive.
Safety Sense
Toyota Safety Sense sits behind the windshield next to the mirror, with a radar unit in the grille. Side and rear film never touches either one. If you add windshield film on V10 or V16, the camera zone is left clear and the car needs no recalibration. ProLayers film has no metal in it, so the radio, GPS and toll tag work as before.
Factory privacy glass is not tint
Most 4Runners come with dark rear glass from the factory. That is pigment in the glass itself, and it does a fair job on glare and privacy but very little on heat. Ceramic film over it is what actually cuts the infrared load on a 4Runner that sits at a Kahului jobsite or a trailhead all day. V10 Ceramic IR is the usual starting point; V16 Ceramic IR MAX is the one for a 4Runner that lives outside year round.
Trims
TRD Pro, TRD Off-Road, SR5, Limited and Platinum all use the same glass. The TRD Pro’s black trim and wheels suit a darker look within the shade the shop confirms, and the Limited’s leather interior is the one that benefits most from UV blocking. The price does not change by trim.
One visit, three services
Tint pairs well with a full front of PPF and a ceramic coating in the same visit. The 4Runner protection page lays out how the three fit together and how long each takes. If you drive a Tacoma or a Tahoe instead, those have their own pages: Tacoma window tint and Tahoe window tint. Send your year and trim and the quote comes back before you book.
Questions
Do you tint the 4Runner rear cargo window?
Yes. It is part of the full package. The film is cut to clear the seal and the tracks so it keeps working as a roll-down window without lifting an edge.
How long does 4Runner window tint take?
About two to three hours on V6 or V10; closer to four on V16 or with a windshield add-on. Drop off in the morning and it is ready after lunch.
What is the darkest legal tint for a 4Runner in Hawaii?
The front doors must pass at least 35% of visible 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 4Runner at booking. Every 4Runner leaves with the compliance certificate Hawaii requires, which stays in the vehicle.
Will tint affect Toyota Safety Sense?
No. The camera is behind the windshield at the mirror and the radar is in the grille. ProLayers film has no metal layer, and side or rear film never comes near either sensor.
Do you tint the TRD Pro?
Yes. The glass is identical to the SR5 and Limited, so the pattern and labor are the same. Hawaii's rear-glass rule does not name SUVs, so the shop confirms the rear shade for a TRD Pro the same way as any other 4Runner.
How much does it cost to tint a 4Runner on Maui?
The 4Runner is quoted on the SUV four-door, quarters and cargo-glass layout, by labor hours for the film tier you choose, plus Hawaii GET. Request a quote with your year for the figure.
Should I add PPF or ceramic coating at the same time?
You can. Tint, a full front of PPF and a ceramic coating can be scheduled in one visit; the full front PPF takes one to two days and the coating one to two, so the car stays with us a little longer.
