This install features a grey vinyl wrap applied to a Tesla Model S.
The video demonstrates how to wrap a rear quarter panel step by step. It walks through setting the material, cutting around the pillar, and managing tension along the body line.
Quarter Panel Wrapping Steps
- Cut the quarter panel vinyl piece down to shape.
- Peel backing paper from back to front, tack the vinyl, remove backing completely, and cut at the pillar.
- Glass out the front section, tack along the body line, and glass the rear.
- Lock in the body line, heat the vinyl, glass it, and squeegee down the lower section.
- Work upward by heating and glassing the top, smoothing with a glove, and finishing the back edge.
Tips for Clean Results
The installer focuses on glassing each section before pressing it down. Relieving the pillar area keeps tension off the film while setting the main body line. Heating the film softens wrinkles so you can glass the surface flat before squeegeeing out trapped air. Aura Vinyl vinyl wrap features a PET-backed finish and German-made adhesive to support clean repositioning on complex panels.
FAQ
How do you wrap a Tesla Model S quarter panel?
Cut the film to shape, tack it down, and separate the pillar cut so it does not stick early. Glass out the front and rear sections along the body line, then squeegee down while using heat to smooth wrinkles.
Why do you cut the vinyl near the roof pillar during install?
Cutting the material at the pillar prevents the upper section from sticking too early. This allows you to glass out the main body line and squeegee the lower panel first.
What adhesive does Aura Vinyl vinyl wrap use?
Aura Vinyl vinyl wrap uses German-made adhesive designed for pliability, repositioning, and fewer glue lines.
