Film supplier XPEL Inc. and EV carmaker Rivian are expanding their collaboration with a new paint protection film (PPF) and window tint customization program.

Through the exclusive program, Rivian R1T and R1S owners based in the U.S. and Canada can order XPEL products directly from Rivian’s Gear Shop, which provides set pricing, ease of installation booking with a local XPEL Certified Rivian Network Partner and inclusion of a 5-year/60,000 mile warranty that aligns with Rivian’s factory agreement, the companies stated in a press release.

“With this extended collaboration, we’re encouraging Rivian owners to be as adventurous as their vehicles,” said Anthony Pecaski, XPEL’s senior manager of key accounts. “This new program allows for the enhanced protection and customization each customer desires to keep their vehicle looking great during their ownership experience.”

Rivian owners can choose from a variety of XPEL products including ULTIMATE PLUS paint protection film and PRIME window film in a variety of tints. Rivian already offers full-body XPEL PPF installed on select models at its factory.

For best results, XPEL recommends Rivian owners have the films installed on their vehicles as early as possible after purchase, the release noted. An XPEL Certified Rivian Network Partner can also recommend additional services, not included in this program, for an additional cost when owners schedule their appointment.
