Gloss Black roof wrap on an Acura RSX - Aura Vinyl

Gloss Black roof wrap on an Acura RSX

This video shows a gloss black vinyl wrap installed on the roof of a 2002 to 2006 Acura RSX. The demonstration outlines how to position and glass vinyl across a large roof surface without fighting wrinkles. To begin the installation, lift the vinyl from one side and glass it out across the panel. Next, glass the material outward toward each corner to establish proper tension. Repeat this same glassing technique on the other side of the vehicle, addressing each corner separately. If small parallel wrinkles appear along the sides, gently lift the material up from the bottom edge and pull them out. After the sheet is fully glassed, begin squeegeeing starting directly from the center of the roof. Work outward toward the sides using overlapping squeegee strokes to push air out smoothly. As you approach the corners, pick the material up slightly to give trapped air an exit route. Aura Vinyl vinyl wrap features a PET-backed finish with German-made adhesive, offering an expected lifespan of 3 to 5 years under proper care.
