Like many others, my Mk7 GTI sunroof surround started peeling clear coat and developed a crack. With the help of Lucky Wrapz and Vinyl Frog, the GTI roof wrap makes it look 100% better and we also added a couple extra touches!

Mine was cracked on the same spot, it's a chip now. Leaky sunroof no go. Good look wrapping the roof
Mk7 *TDI owner* making PNW shout-out, a rare highline package with the panoramic sunroof showing the cracking and needing addressing and wrapping is perfect application, thank you for the tutorial next on my list of mods!
I can't believe I didn't see this sooner. My son's had the exact same clear coat issue in the same spot when I bought it. I thought it was probably from an old sunroof visor that was removed. There was also a slight wrinkle/line in the paint about a half inch long coming from the corner of the sunroof. Last summer he was backed into the front end, so I took the opportunity to get several things done ( mostly paid for by the other party's insurance). One thing I did pay for was to have that piece repainted. Now that same corner has chipped up and a long crack is visible where it chipped away. Basically it's way worse than a little clear coat issue and the body shop is arguing that it's not their problem because it's a flaw in the design. I could have just gotten wrapped for a couple hundred bucks or so and called it a day. We are in The Woodlands.
I wrapped mine and it holds everything together and out. Wrap job was pretty janky but it's a winter bandaid until weather gets nice and I can redo it better.
I've owned two MK7 GTIs now, both of them have had tremendous cracks across the plastic trim surrounding the sunroof. I was going to get the first one wrapped then it got totaled (Profile picture, as of 12/9/2024) now the 2nd one is much worse than the first one and leaking :D
OH YEAH, man I wanna know what wheel specs you're running :o size, offset, tires, spacers? Looks clean!
looks good they did a good job......and the GTI looks a lot better......Thumbs up!!
Thanks!
I really appreciate the support brother man‼️💪🏼🚀💯💯
hi, i'm planning to do the same, my sunroof bezel is peeling too. I bought some black ppf film and tested where the paint is peeling but you can still see the imperfections through the film. It happen to you too?
How are you seeing imperfections through the film?...
Oh, do you mean like an outline of the delamination? I'd buff it smooth with cutting polish first, then apply the film.
Do shops mind you bringing your own film?
It really depends. This was the 3rd place I contacted and the only one open to doing it. The wrap guy was a little more like a contractor and used the shop space so it was probably a different deal
Will this stop a leak also ?
It has definitely helped stop the small leak
If you have this issue it has to do with your sunroof drains being clogged. You can use a small piece of tube and blow through it into the drain and clear it out. Don't use compressed air because it can blow out the car's tubing and that's gonna be a huge problem. I have the same delamination on the black surrounding my sunroof and am going to wrap it like this.
@@RJYOUNG396 Not just the drains. Many sunroof frames are actually cracked. VW has a TSB and repair kit for the crack issue.
@@stimproid Good to know 👍
Do you still have the GTI? If so, how's the wrap holding up?
Yea man I posted a video about it just the other day. Wrap is ok, still better than a crack and peeling clear
@@ColoredinLight Nice, I ordered some of the same wrap from vinylfrog. I like the way your car turned out; looks clean. I'm not going over the spoiler with mine though. I was at the VW dealer getting my DSG service and was looking at a MK8 in the showroom that had the roof black stock! It just went to the back and the spoiler was body color. I liked that more, but I see the body line that goes around the spoiler too , so makes sense either way.
