What to Do If It Rains Right After Applying a Car Wrap?

Encountering rain is not a big issue; the car wrap can withstand rain as long as you don't open the windows. Avoid washing the car within three days after applying the wrap. For the first few days after installation, try to minimize rolling the windows up and down, especially for new cars that have just been wrapped. The glass is usually quite tight, and it takes 5-7 days for the heat-insulating film to firmly adhere to the window. During this period, the edges of the film can easily curl or lift when the windows are opened or closed, and the film that hasn't fully bonded may also shift. Here are some additional considerations: Precautions: Since the air is more humid after cloudy or rainy days, with reduced static electricity and fewer suspended particles, applying the film during this time minimizes the risk of impurities affecting the appearance. Choose a professional shop with indoor application conditions for installing explosion-proof film. Before application, reputable shops will maintain appropriate indoor humidity to prevent dust from causing grit, bubbles, or scratches under the film. If bubbles appear at the edges of the film, return to the installation site within 24 hours for repair. Delaying beyond this period may result in the adhesive around the bubbles drying out, making the edges immobile and prone to creases during correction.
