Roof Wrap

Wondered how pleased folks may be with their roof wrap?

How well does the material transition at the roof rack rail?

Does it hold up well? Just wash?

TIA

I'm sure you've moved on, but for whoever else is wondering, I'm very happy with mine. My opinion is that it looks best on white cars (assuming you go with a black roof wrap). It helps accentuate the curves of the pillars.
Any decent shop will/should remove the rails/trim, so you won't have an exposed seam. The harder part is wrapping the antenna. My guy worked some impressive magic, but worst case, I guess it can always be painted for a seamless finish.

Bottom line: if you have a white car, I highly recommend it!

A neighbor of mine is considering a roof wrap and seems a good idea, he got a white one. I recently helped him install the new rack and steel force tonneau on his Ram for kayak mount and mentioned about the roof wrap but bit concern about the rails as the local shop seems not good at removing them.

I also have a white 135i and thinking about a roof wrap.

Any pics?
