I just wrap my roof with Avery SW900 gross black. I would said Avery did a excellent job for DIY users. Its much eaiser to apply than any other brand I have used.

So I pulled off the weather-stripping and after I put it on, it was really loose. I can wiggle it around a lot and it definitely doesn't feel solid as before. @Pacific Auto Is this normal?

My friends and I did the roof wrapping on my car a few days ago and from the feel of things, I think we don't realize that the weather-stripping is easy to take off and hence, it feels somewhat loose after doing so.

Anyways, here is the final result:



I do have one question for anyone who has done vinyl wrapping,

I have a significant spot where the wrap has wrinkled due to poking a tiny hole into a massive bubble, would I still be able to peel that quarter of the wrap up and heat gun it smooth and reapply to fix it?
