Troubleshooting
Bubbles or wrinkles appear after application
Gently lift the affected edge of the vinyl and reapply using a squeegee, working from the center outwards. For stubborn bubbles, a small pinprick can release trapped air.
Sunstrip does not fit correctly
Ensure you are using the trimming process correctly. If the size is fundamentally too small or large, contact the seller to inquire about custom sizing options.
Lettering is difficult to apply evenly
Use a piece of masking tape to create a hinge for the lettering, allowing you to peel back the backing paper and apply it smoothly. A second person can be helpful for this step.
Vinyl edges are peeling
Ensure the surface was clean before application. Gently reheat the edge with a hairdryer on a low setting and press firmly back into place. For persistent issues, consider using a vinyl adhesive specifically designed for car wraps.
