I am a clear bra installer but I have some vinyl experience.

I have done my roof two different times with 3M 1080 satin black.

Both times I pre-stretched the whole piece dry.

The first time, I started in the center like you said but got some stretch marks at the valleys.

The second time, I did the two outside pieces first. This creates a bridge across the whole center. Then I swipe each valley across using my hand in a micro fiber. Then I finished up the center.

Trimmed and wrapped all edges. Credit cards work great for getting underneath the seals.
