Front parking sensor issues, wrap?

[Jnotar15]

Just recently got my Y wrapped with KPMF ice blue titanium, having issues with 4 out of the 6 front bumpers. Particularly the direct front 4. Do not have issues with the two on the sides of the bumper and rear sensors. Is the wrap causing the sensors not to work? Looking for advice from those who have theirs wrapped.

Have you ever found out the problem?

I got the exact same problem, service is coming this week.

Yes it is the wrap that causes the problem esp. in cold. My wrap expands around rubber in cold weather which causes air pockets and sensor not to work. When temp is warmer works fine.

My installer talked to service and they told him to cut out the sides. It worked for a little bit then stopped and now works once in a while. I may just cut it out after. I have a model Y so there's no rubber ring around it.

Also the shop have done many Tesla's and never had a problem. In fact another brand new model Y came in and liked my color so much he chose the same and didn't have this issue.

Not sure how you don’t have rubber ring, the rubber ring is painted with the same color of car.

I have same issue with my newly vinyl wrapped Y. Rear sensors work but not the front. Tesla service won't even look at without charging me becuase of the vinyl wrap. Did you ever get this resolved?

Take it to the wrap guy and ask him to cut out and make the rubber visible. Rubber has original car color.

cut it out and then place a smaller circle so it shows a ring of the original color.

Hi everyone.

I have the same issue just pop up on my MS as well after a new wrap. Can someone please post a picture of the fix if possible? Would be much easier way to explain to my wrap guy.

Thanks.

I had this issue, and didn't wanna do the cut outs on a vinyl wrap! So I found a solution!!! I took a microfiber cloth and wrapped it around a credit card and then I pushed in the vinyl around the ring on every sensor, and then finally VOLLA it worked and all the sensors started back up! Try this before cutting out the sensors!

Have the same issue, my fronts were wrapped and 3-4 days old. Will try this out, otherwise, I'll ask my installer to cut it out.

And? Did you resolved?

Yes, went back to the installer and trimmed the sensor area.

Ah, okay, you dont try it out to "took a microfiber cloth and wrapped it around a credit card and then I pushed in the vinyl around the ring on every sensor, and then finally VOLLA"???

@Maik - It was November when I had the PPF installed, we don't have a heated garage to properly cure the wrap but the installed does.

Full XPEL Stealth wrap here and no issues. I think my installer cut around the sensors. Ill take a peak better when going to my MYP.
