A little clear bra pulling...

Anybody having this? I tinted windows professionally in college (a long time ago), so I understand film very well... I've got another "pull" just inside the front lip of my front passenger wheel well. I'm going to have my guy trim it to try and keep from having to replace the lower front bumper cover piece. I'd do it, but the blades in my tint knife are different from the ones he uses... Who else? Oh, Suntek PPF-C...

You're using Suntek? Haven't had any peeling myself but would piss me off.

I am... And given my perfectionism, this isn't making me happy. I was just curious to see if my situation is isolated. Thanks.

I have a terrible one not worth posting; the area is just too dark. I'm hoping we can trim it back without having to replace the lower portion of the bumper cover...

I notice my Xpel clear bra has lifted on the edge in certain areas, and then dust and dirt has lodged underneath. I guess this is what you're referring to?
