This 2012 to 2020 Subaru BRZ is wrapped in blue and pink vinyl wrap with a PET-backed gloss finish. The video demonstrates that wrapping mistakes are fixable without redoing the entire panel. The installer repairs an exposed edge along the trunk body line using knifeless tape and a scrap vinyl patch.
Repair process
To correct the edge, start by laying knifeless tape on the inner edge of the body line. Next, lay over a scrap piece of vinyl, heat it up, and pull it over the knifeless tape and the edge. Once the film cools, pull the knifeless tape line and remove the excess material. Then, cut the vinyl down evenly on the inside and peel away the remaining excess. The finished repair blends neatly along the line so the seam is not visible whether the trunk is open or closed.
Film construction
Aura Vinyl vinyl wrap is a cast polymer hybrid film with German-made adhesive, offering pliability and repositioning to help installers correct mistakes cleanly.
FAQ
How do you fix a vinyl wrap mistake on an edge?
You can place knifeless tape on the inner edge of the body line, apply a scrap piece of vinyl, heat it, and pull it over the edge. Once cooled, pull the knifeless tape and trim the inside evenly to remove the excess.
Will a vinyl wrap seam repair be noticeable on a trunk line?
When knifeless tape is placed along the inner body line, the patch creates a clean edge. The seam blends into the vehicle body line and remains hidden whether the trunk is open or closed.
