PPF problem

[rlb4]

I had Suntek Ultra PPF and OptiCoat Pro applied to my car 11/1/18. After washing my car a few weeks ago I noticed some areas of the PPF peeling. Its only been 4 mo since being applied and my car has only been hand washed. I wanted to get opinions before calling the installer.

Definitely call your installer. You've done nothing to cause this severe peeling issue.

It should not peel - i'm no PPF expert, but only reason it could peel is it's not adhering properly (insufficient prep) or there are air bubbles underneath.

From the photos it looks like it's peeling where it wraps arounds, it's possible the installer didn't apply enough heat to activate the PPF bond in those spots.

Either way, go back and ask them to fix it - they should do it for free.

If you’ve only hand washed it, it should definitely not be peeling like that. Assuming you took it to a reputable installer, you should be able to bring the car back to them and have those pieces replaced under warranty.

Will they have to replace the entire piece or just trim the peeling pieces?

If it was mine I would have the installer just trim off the portion that lifted at the top corners of the air intake. The front fender I would want redone.

Looks like they didn't stretch the bumper enough. That front bumper naturally has a lot of tension, and when you don't remove it this exact type of thing happens. the fender looks like they may have tried to wrap it around the edge too far and debris from the tire could kick it up and make it lift. both issues should absolutely be fixed by the installer.
