This video features a blue vinyl wrap on a 2006 to 2012 BMW 3 Series. The clip shows an installer fixing horizontal wrinkles on the car's rear bumper during an installation. While bunched vinyl may look like a serious error at first glance, horizontal wrinkles pop out easily from either the top or the bottom.
Removing Horizontal Wrinkles
To fix the issue, gently lift the film from the top or the bottom edge of the panel. Once lifted, apply a small amount of heat using a heat gun. The heat relaxes the material so it lays back down smooth against the bumper without creases.
Handling Horizontal and Vertical Wrinkles
Some areas present more complex bunching. When you encounter both horizontal and vertical wrinkles together, lifting alone is not enough. You must heat the material up and glass it out to remove tension before squeegeeing it flat.
Aura Vinyl vinyl wrap is a cast polymer hybrid film made with German-made adhesive and a PET-backed finish.
