This tutorial shows black vinyl wrap installation on an Audi R8. The video demonstrates a simple technique for tucking car wrap edges behind vehicle rubber seals without snagging or binding the material. When wrapping around windows or rooflines, rubber weatherstripping often grips the adhesive side of the film, which can cause wrinkles or uneven edges. Using backing paper creates a smooth surface so the vinyl slides directly into place. First, take a piece of backing paper and fold it in half to make a sharp crease. Next, lift all of your vinyl up off of the rubber seal. Slide the folded backing paper between the vinyl film and the seal so that the paper rests directly inside the gap. Once the backing paper is positioned, take the hard edge of your squeegee and tuck the vinyl material behind the seal. The slick backing paper prevents the adhesive from catching on the rubber, allowing the edge to roll inward cleanly. When you finish tucking the section, slide the backing paper out to reveal a smooth, factory-style edge. Aura Vinyl premium vinyl wrap features a cast polymer hybrid construction with German-made adhesive for repositioning and smooth handling during installation. Every roll includes access to beginner support, including Discord installer help, tailored video playlists, and install tips to assist with difficult tucks and edges on any vehicle.
