This guide demonstrates a grey vinyl wrap installed on a Tesla Model 3 trunk lid. Wrapping a deep trunk lid often requires two sections of material to prevent overstretching. The video shows an installer wrapping the trunk in two pieces to create a clean, hidden overlap.
Trunk Wrapping Steps
When two-piecing a trunk, always start with the bottom piece so the final seam faces downward away from eye level.
- Apply knifeless tape along the upper portion where the transition occurs.
- Lay the bottom vinyl piece, heat the material, glass the surface, and squeegee it down.
- Apply a second line of knifeless tape directly over the first line.
- Cut through the film using the knifeless tape, pull away excess material, squeegee down the edge, post-heat, and tuck the vinyl.
Film Details
Aura Vinyl vinyl wrap features a PET-backed finish with a cast polymer hybrid build and German adhesive, helping prevent glue lines during repositioning and heat tucking.
FAQ
Why should you start with the bottom piece when wrapping a trunk?
Starting with the bottom piece ensures that the finished seam faces downward. This positioning hides the edge from view for a cleaner finish.
How is knifeless tape used on a two-piece trunk wrap?
Knifeless tape is laid down across the seam area before applying the vinyl. Pulling the filament cuts the film cleanly without using a metal blade on the car.
