Besides changing the vinyl every four years, you also need to take care of the film to increase the longevity of the protection film.

Rvinyl™ roof wraps typically last five to seven years, though we recommend removing and reapplying your film after four years for optimal results. Also avoid parking under direct sunlight and follow manufacturing guidelines using polished, waxes, and treatments.
