This video demonstrates wrapping a side mirror cap on a silver 2008-2016 Audi A4 using a dedicated mirror tool.
Wrapping a side mirror by hand can be tricky if you do not know how to manipulate the material correctly. Hand wrapping demands continuous heating and glassing out the film to lay it flat over the curve. A mirror tool makes this process much easier and more efficient. Using the tool also reduces the risk of overstretching the vinyl film, which helps prevent the material from pulling back later.
Mirror tool wrapping steps
The video demonstrates a simple process to wrap the mirror cap with the tool:
- Heat the vinyl sheet evenly.
- Lay the heated sheet directly over the mirror cap using the tool.
- Confirm that the entire face is fully glassed out and smooth.
- Cut the excess vinyl away.
- Work out the remaining edges for a clean finish.
