I had the same exact issue when wrapping the hideous OEM wood trim on my ‘17 GMC Denali with Vvivid’s mahogany. The one piece I could not remove had the gear shifter & drive mode select knob on it. I created a template of the entire trim piece with 2 layers of painter’s tape, cutting out the exact shape of the trim + 1/2” and of all “Holes” if you will that I would need to cut out in the vinyl then stuck the tape onto 2 pieces of photo paper stuck together to get the proper length, traced & cut out the tape template onto the photo paper, the, to the vinyl wrap itself, this way when it came time to wrap that piece the vinyl was precut & slid right over the gear shifter & drive mode select knob. Yes, a lot of extra work on the pre install, but worth it when it came time to wrap that piece.

One suggestion on videos like this would be a neutral cover on your white table, it'll reduce the contrast and the camera will show up the dark details much better, without having to add more lights. Best I've found is a medium grey or blue, tablecloth or large sheet of art paper. Hope that helps man, cheers from Australia.

Im a RV tech by trade and I've watched almost all your videos, and I still can't believe how much you can heat and stretch these films. Our decals are not even close to that forgiving or manipulable and I've tried your techniques. We even have Avery and 3m brand decals. They must be super low end cause when we get the local vinyl shop to make custom discontinued decals they feel way thicker and manipulate well. Oem if you don't use soapy water then there's no way you're pulling it back off the trailer without stretching and ruining the decal.

Do you have BusWrap , can't remember the company name but it starts with an F..? I had my first experience with that stuff last week and it's trash to work with lol Edit: nevermind, just saw that you said you're using 3M and Avery.. what line of 3M/Avery are you using? In the wrap world, it's typically 3M 1080 vinyl, and Avery SW900 or SWF.. anything else could be more difficult to work with. Maybe you have a lower end calendared vinyl rather than cast

If it's a cast film have you tried using rapid tac or rapid tac 2? You can even use rapid tac 2 on any type film, also doubles as a bonding agent when it dries.
