The Short Answer
Tinting all four door windows and the Rear Window of a Rivian R1T costs $550 in XPEL XR Black or $650 in XR Plus. Adding the windshield brings it to $849 or $1,049. Clear paint protection film starts at $2,000 for a Full Front. Every price is before sales tax.
These are XPEL's Rivian program prices. Rivian refers its owners to Autograff, an XPEL Authorized Dealer in North Hollywood, and the R1T sits next to the R1S and R2 on our bays every week.
R1T Window Tint Prices
The R1T is a pickup, so it has less side glass than the R1S and the price is lower. The all-sides package covers the four door windows and the Rear Window, which is the glass at the back of the cab. Both films are nano-ceramic with no metal, so phone key, GPS and radio signals work normally.
| Coverage | XR Black | XR Plus |
|---|---|---|
| All side windows + Rear Window | $550 | $650 |
| Front side windows only | $200 | $250 |
| Rear side windows + Rear Window | $350 | $400 |
| Windshield | $299 | $399 |
| Glass roof | $450 | $500 |
Every shade costs the same, so the price depends on the film and the windows, not on how dark you go. The model page, with a live price calculator, is our Rivian R1T tint page.
XR Black or XR Plus
XR Black rejects up to 85% of infrared heat and XR Plus up to 96%. Both block 99% of UV. In a truck the cab is a small, glassy box, and it heats up fast when it sits in a Valley parking lot in August.
The gap on the main package is $100. If the truck sits outside all day or you drive with the sun on your arm, XR Plus is worth a look. If you mostly want privacy and a cooler cabin at the lower price, XR Black does that well. The XR Black vs XR Plus comparison goes through the differences.
Windshield and Glass Roof
A nearly clear nano-ceramic film on the windshield cuts infrared heat without changing how the glass looks: $299 in XR Black or $399 in XR Plus. California allows a non-reflective strip on the top 4 inches.
If your R1T has the glass roof, roof film cuts the heat over the cab. It is $450 in XR Black or $500 in XR Plus, in any shade from nearly clear to dark.
What Is Legal
In California the front side windows must let at least 70% of light through. The rear side windows and the Rear Window can be darker on a vehicle with both side mirrors, which the R1T has. We keep this general here; the window-by-window rules are on our California tint laws page.
R1T PPF Prices
Tint is the daily-comfort upgrade. PPF protects the paint. A pickup has a tall front end that takes gravel and road debris on the 101, the 405 and the 5, and a chip in factory paint stays there.
| Film | Starting price | Time at the studio |
|---|---|---|
| Ultimate Plus (clear, gloss) | From $2,000 | About 2 days for a Full Front |
| Stealth (satin) | From $5,500 | 3 – 4 days for a Full Body |
PPF prices are approximate starting prices. The final quote depends on the coverage you choose, and Stealth, the satin film, is usually done on the whole truck. A Full Front covers the full hood, front fenders, front bumper, mirrors and headlights. Ultimate Plus is self-healing: light scratches and swirl marks fade with heat from the sun or warm water. See every film on our paint protection film page.
If you want only the spots that take the most abuse, rocker panels are $450 and door sills are $200 in Ultimate Plus, quoted with the rest of the job.
A Sensible Order for a New R1T
- Side windows and Rear Window. $550 or $650, done while you wait in our lounge.
- Windshield. $299 or $399, usually added in the same visit.
- Full Front in clear PPF. From $2,000, and the truck stays with us about 2 days.
- Glass roof. $450 or $500, if your truck has one.
XPEL Fusion Plus ceramic coating is optional. It adds gloss and makes the truck easier to wash, on bare paint or on top of PPF.
Warranty
XPEL says products installed through its Rivian program won't impact the Rivian New Vehicle Limited Warranty. The film carries its own XPEL warranty: lifetime for window tint and 10 years for PPF.
