this took me a while to do 3 days ,with all the hacksaw cutting,ripping out old console and replacing e.t.c but my problem is this.as soon as i left my car in sunshine the bubbles start happening and it un-sticks it self. yet i used a heat-gun and a special applicator.anyone know why it happens or how i can fix it ?

You need to buy the good 3m Di- Noc carbon fibre vinyl wrap not cheap knockoffs, 3m primer and some ear buds to apply it for extra stick, pure alcohol to first clean and a heat gun plus plastic squeegee thing.
Clean the area with alcohol and let dry, prime the area especially tight edges and let dry, cut the piece of wrap a fair bit larger than required cos the edges will wrinkle a lot from constant heating and stretching. Have enough excess to peel over and cut off after. Slowly apply heat and stretch each area and massage into tight areas with plastic squeegee. It's a very time consuming thing to do properly and important to prep the area and not leave any finger grease on the surface. You can re heat and re stretch this stuff quite a few times until you get it right.. Good luck..
