I installed them myself. One year and 10,000 miles later and no issues or regrets. They look so much better than the plain black sills.

Mine are still fine 34K miles later.

-use a crap ton of soap/water and squeegee out as much as you can, 90% is usually fine
-leave it alone for hours in warm conditions/sun/heat gun

I've wrapped simple things with 3M vinyl wrap like laptops, mugs, emblems and had no issues. I'm not a pro as I only tinker with this stuff.

As another user posted, pins can be helpful. I'm wondering if the surface your applying it to has any slight porous properties or contaminates? I applied film once to a device and hours/day later I noticed a haze, bubbles and a ring around imperfections. Turns out there was hairspray on the device and the soap had caused it to lift but was then trapped under the film.

I took off the film and suddenly got a whiff of herbal essence hairspray. It was giggle worthy. I will claim responsibility for half-assing the job and not fully inspecting the surface. However I don't use HE. Bed head all the way!

Now you have me wondering if I use enough soapy water solution when I've applied various things. Do you think using a lot is better than using to little? I've always tried using the bare minimum, because I was worried it would just be harder to get all that excess out of there. This may be my main problem

Dealer installed mine no problems after 1 year and I don’t step on them
