Glassing vinyl wrap on a Tesla Model 3 - Aura Vinyl

Glassing vinyl wrap on a Tesla Model 3

This installation shows Aura premium vinyl wrap with a PET-backed finish being glassed out on a white 2017-2023 Tesla Model 3. In the demonstration, the installer works across the car fender to create a smooth, wrinkle-free surface before squeegeeing. Glassing is the technique of applying tension across the film so that no wrinkles remain across the panel. To achieve this result properly, the installer pulls both corners of the sheet simultaneously with equal tension while laying down the material. Stretching the vinyl evenly from the corners eliminates creases across the entire fender surface and leaves the film lying flat against the bodywork. The material featured is Aura premium vinyl wrap, a cast polymer hybrid film equipped with German-made adhesive. This adhesive is engineered for pliability, easy repositioning, and reducing visible glue lines during installation. For long-term care, hand wash the wrap at least every two weeks with vinyl-safe products and apply a ceramic coating before exposing the vehicle to direct sunlight.
