If an edge of paint protection film lifts, the immediate goal is to preserve the area for inspection and assess a suitable solution. A photo or the film age cannot reliably establish the cause, warranty coverage or final cost. Discuss the issue with your chosen BESTAUTO studio in Tbilisi through the PPF service page.
Do not pull or trim the raised edge, or try to attach it with household glue. Heating it yourself or pressing a contaminated area back down can change the condition the specialist needs to assess. Do not aim a water jet under the edge or try to force out trapped dirt.
Take a wider photo and a close-up without lifting the film. Contact the studio and agree how to treat the area before your visit. Mention any impact that preceded the change: the underlying surface may need assessment as well as the film.
The condition can depend on material, surface preparation, panel shape, installation and use. The specialist checks the film, termination line, contamination, damage marks and available installation information. One lifted edge alone does not establish poor material quality or customer fault.
Age, manufacturing country and visible lifting size do not replace inspection. An explanation needs to address the actual area and use conditions. Do not assume heating will restore the adhesive or that the whole car must be wrapped again.
The choice follows a condition check. Film integrity, contamination beneath the edge, geometry and paint condition matter. A small visible lift does not guarantee the film can be attached again; one affected area does not automatically require replacing the entire wrap.
| Possible approach | What to assess and agree |
|---|---|
| Local correction | Whether the film and area allow a correction. Method and limits of the result |
| New film on a panel | Whether the current film can be retained with an acceptable edge. Removal, preparation, material and installation |
| Further area checks | Whether neighbouring areas or paint show changes. Inspection scope before a replacement decision |
These are assessment options rather than promises that a particular repair will work. The studio should explain the proposed scope before work is agreed. See the PPF service life guide for factors affecting the material in use.
Ask for a separate correction or replacement quote after inspection. Initial installation prices do not automatically apply to repairs: old film removal, preparation, material and installation can differ. Confirm which tasks are included before accepting the proposal.
Material manufacturer coverage and studio work terms need separate checks against the actual installation documents. Car age or a lifted edge alone does not establish a free repair entitlement. If documents are missing, share what you know; applicable conditions need confirmation rather than an assumption.
The LLumar FAQ discourages pressure and automatic washing because of edge-lifting risk. This is manufacturer-specific guidance; check the installed series instructions and warranty terms.
Prepare the available information without removing the film yourself:
Photos help discuss the next step but do not replace inspection or guarantee a final quote. All services are available at both studios: Saburtalo and Guramishvili. Choose the convenient studio through the service contacts and arrange a visit.
After agreed work, follow the particular series instructions for the first wash, compatible products and cleaning restrictions. The PPF care guide explains the everyday principles. An edge correction does not establish a new universal warranty period.
Do not press, trim or glue it yourself. Show the area to the studio and preserve its condition for assessment.
That option can be discussed after inspection. Check the affected panel and neighbouring areas; a single lifted edge is not enough to prescribe a full vehicle rewrap.
No. The cause, documents, series and applicable terms need separate checks. A free correction cannot be promised before that assessment.
A photo helps describe the issue. Removal, preparation and new material needs may become clear only at inspection, so confirm the work scope and price with the studio.
