Overlay wrinkles, will these go away over time?



Just finished my overlays, and almost all of it is good except for the one curve at the end there are some pretty small wrinkles i can't get out. i know the bubbles i can pop later or whatever but is there anything I can do about these? I used a hair dryer and it didn't seem to help, theres just too much vinyl in that area to get rid of it. when i try to squeegee after heating it it just makes the wrinkle more defined.

could i possibly try stretching it after heating the area around it or is the only option to lift up that part of the vinyl and try again?

or i was thinking of cutting a slit along the wrinkle to try and overlap it by stretching it.

well painting would look completely different, and isn't really removeable... so these are a good option i would think. plus painting taillights is probably not that easy

Possibly, the water needs to dry up, keep it in the sun.

I put vinyl over my door handles, I thought it was crappy and was going to redo them but the sun fix it all :O
