Ripped corners around a sunroof are a common beginner mistake. This video shows a cleaner way on a white 2008-2016 Audi, using two oval relief cuts, a Wrap RX glove and a heat gun.
Steps
- Cut an oval relief cut in the center of the opening. Don't go too close to the edges yet.
- Put on a Wrap RX glove, heat the film and roll it over the edge.
- Push the corner in as deep as you can with the tension you have.
- Make a second oval relief cut closer to the edge, so the film can reach all the way in.
- Wedge your blade just under the edge and ride it to cut.
Tips
- Two small relief cuts let you get all the way to the edge and maximize coverage without tearing the corner.
- Riding the blade under the edge gives you a consistent clean edge with no short spots.
Aura Vinyl is a cast polymer hybrid film with German-made adhesive, so it stays pliable when you heat and roll it into tight corners.
