This video demonstrates a vinyl wrap installation on the window trim of a white Audi A5. The installer demonstrates how to avoid short cuts underneath window trims by using proper tucking and cutting form.
Cutting Under Window Trim
The video outlines a reliable technique for trimming film along rubber window molding:
- Lift the vinyl up off the edge of the window trim.
- Tuck the vinyl as far as you can using the hard edge of a squeegee.
- Lay the blade right underneath the window trim.
- Lock your wrist and elbow in position to avoid slipping.
- Move your body back to make the cut, then remove the excess vinyl.
Locking your wrist and elbow keeps the blade steady so you do not slip while cutting along the trim.

FAQ
How do you avoid short cuts underneath window trims?
Lift the vinyl off the trim edge and tuck it as far as possible using the hard edge of a squeegee. Lay the blade directly underneath the window trim and move your body backward to guide the cut.
Why should you lock your wrist and elbow when cutting wrap?
Locking your wrist and elbow keeps your hand steady and prevents the blade from slipping. Moving your body instead of your arm helps maintain a consistent cutting line.
