This installation video demonstrates wrapping the recessed door handle on a blue 2011-2023 Dodge Charger. The clip shows how an installer covers the door panel and handles without taking the door handles off the car.
Handle Trimming and Feeding
Cutting directly underneath the door handle on a first attempt is a common mistake that creates a short cut, leaving original vehicle paint exposed. To avoid this, trim around the upper shape of the door handle first while keeping the bottom section intact.
Leaving the bottom uncut creates a workable top flap. Next, warm the film with heat and feed the excess material gradually into the handle recess cup. This approach provides plenty of material to tuck all the way into the inner pocket. According to the installer, this style of door handle is the only one you are able to leave on the car while wrapping doors.
Aura Vinyl vinyl wrap features a cast polymer hybrid build and German-made adhesive designed for repositioning and feeding into recesses.
