This installation shows blue vinyl wrap installed around car window trim. The video demonstrates how to avoid cutting the material short when you cannot remove the window trim from the car body. Following this method allows installers to achieve full coverage and hide the film edge underneath the molding.
Trimming Steps
Trimming around fixed window moldings requires careful tool placement. The installer explains the process using these steps:
- Start off by lifting the material up off of the trim.
- Take a hard-edge squeegee and tuck it as far as you can underneath the trim.
- Lay the blade right under the top edge and then cut.
- Remove your excess material.
Tucking the vinyl deeply into the channel ensures a clean finished look and prevents the cut line from falling short of the molding.
