Does reversing into a parking space have to be exactly in the middle?

No, as long as you don't cross the lines during the reversing process. Here are specific tips for reversing into a parking space: 1. Identify the starting point: Taking right-side reversing as an example, the car should maintain a distance of 1.2-1.8 meters from the left line at the starting position. The steering wheels should be straight, and the car body should be parallel to the left line. When reversing, use the lower edge of the left rearview mirror as a reference. When the two align, turn the steering wheel fully to the right and continue reversing. 2. Control the corner point: Watch the right rearview mirror. When you spot the corner of the parking space, pay attention to the changing distance between the corner and the car body. When the distance is less than 30 centimeters, turn the steering wheel back halfway and continue reversing. Once the car body enters the parking space and is parallel to the parking lines, turn the steering wheel back one full turn. If the distance is not less than 30 centimeters, don't turn the steering wheel back. Keep reversing until the car body is parallel to the parking lines, then turn the steering wheel back one and a half turns at once.

If the bubbling area is large, it is recommended to reapply the film. If there are not many bubbles and they are small in size, you can make a small opening and then use a squeegee combined with a hairdryer to slowly flatten them. Bubbles may be caused by dust or small sand particles on the film. If it's just a small area of bubbles, simply puncture them with a needle and then press them flat by hand.
