This guide covers a blue vinyl wrap installation on a 1995-2001 Audi A4 rear quarter panel. The video demonstrates how to position, stretch, and squeegee the material cleanly across the vehicle contours.
Quarter panel wrapping steps
Start by cutting the vinyl sheet down to shape for the quarter panel. Peel the backing paper from the rear of the car forward toward the front. Once the film is tacked down, pull the backing paper the rest of the way through. Next, tack down the front edge of the quarter panel to hold tension.
Focus on the center of the panel by picking the material up and glassing it out over the body line. Lock the film directly into the body line before squeegeeing down into the lower area.
Lower section and pillar technique
Split the bottom of the quarter panel into two sections right in the center. Dividing the lower section makes the material much easier to control and lay flat against the paint. After squeegeeing down both lower sections, work the remaining material up along the pillar to finish the panel.
Aura Vinyl wraps feature a cast polymer hybrid construction with German-made adhesive and a PET backing for cleaner repositioning and a flat finish.

Why divide the lower quarter panel into two sections?
Splitting the bottom of the panel in the center makes the material easier to manage and squeegee flat without bunching.
How should you handle the body line on an Audi A4 quarter panel?
Pick the material up in the center and glass it out over the body line. Lock the vinyl into the body line before squeegeeing downward.
