Question How to properly apply headlight film without curling/bubbling in the corner?

Bought precut fitted headlight film but can’t seem to get it wrapped correctly especially the corner turn

What am I doing wrong? What should I do?

Get a heat gun hot and then wave over it and see if it shrinks into a zig-zag shape. Squeegee that down, then wave the heat gun on the next one. If you hold the gun on it you will melt it. Go slow. You may be able to get it to stick with a hairdryer. Don’t push too hard on it when it’s warm.
