Trying Alcantara WRAP - is it as bad as they say?

- Alcant-ERA popped up on my radar a few months ago with their adhesive suede interior wrap through some viral Instagram posts. But what a lot of us viewers noticed was the rushed nature of their demonstration videos which seemed to undersell the wrap itself.
Despite this, I was super interested in the idea of a self-adhesive suede wrap and wanted to try it for myself, in the hope that the product would exceed the standard advertised by Alcant-ERA, provided I spent more time and effort on applying it. Was my theory correct? One way to find out...
OCTOBER 2024 UPDATE:
The company I originally purchased from has disappeared, along with their Instagram account. I don’t know why, but I have found an identical looking product here (it’s misspelled) - www.ultimateca...
6 MONTH UPDATE:
No issues with the wrap so far
I’m leaving updates in the description above for anyone wanting to follow along 👆
Great job, well done. 👍Looking forward to seeing how it holds up over time.
The company disappearing gave me a good giggle
I always wondered if this stuff was any good.
I did this years ago with just a generic suede and not the adhesive kind. 2 month in the sun made it fade really badly. I will be curious to see if this product will also fade in direct sun light over time.
Make sure you zip tie that dash cam power wire in the A pillar so that it doesn’t impede the airbag. This is a critical mistake that some people make, which could be deadly. It needs to be completely out of the way of an airbag deployment. 👍
Would love to see a comparison between a few other companies Alcantara products (many on Ali express) and maybe do a black headliner
its all the same shit
Hey mate,
After 9 months how has it been so far? Especially during the Australian summer. Would like to know how it’s performed?😊
Is this from the alcantera website(Can you drop the link from where you bought it
Their site doesn’t exist anymore but I have a link in the description to a replacement product
How has it hold up after 9 months?
6 months have passed! How does it hold?
I second this question! @OEMStez
he updated it in the description, nothing wrong w the wrap
When painting yiur parts you should def sand and wipe with solvent then use 2 coats of primer even if you paint has primer in it then do way lighter coats . Like 3. Then use a high quality finish clear coat
Do you have any more content on the door inlays with the dress fabric? Those look awesome!

@@OEMStez Thank you! Has the black fabric held up pretty well and stayed in place? I want to do fabric on my E46 on those trim panels, everyone seems to do vinyl wraps.
Can someone share an opinion on this after months/years of use? How does the suede look and the adhesive behaves?
Please update soon than six months if it starts to fail before that
i had a similar product i got off ebay a few years back on my dash for three years in the colorado sun without tooo crazy of a fade. i just replaced it last week more so because i did a bad job installing it.
to add, you can get a huge roll off temu for $20
looks really sick. u did a great job bro
Great video. Just our wrap in yesterday. And yeah the fabric does have odor when opening the package. What as weird ours got delivered by Amazon..
We got their black Alcantara to go with the ebony black interior on our tahoe (suv) in Arizona. But our upper panels came in the ugly tan I hate I painted my front A pillars in duplicolor fabric paint and it came out great.
The Alcantara is going on the other upper panels in the back to give it a more darker interior.
Hope it goes well for you 🤞
On aliexpress is 30€ for 50cmx3m
Keep it up mate. Waiting for mine so dying to see how they are now. Subscribed
I like it. Good job!🔥
Should it work on actual headliner? I’m thinking it should with some contact cement
I’m curious to try it on a headliner, the adhesive feels pretty good but in Australia the roof takes a huge amount of heat so I’m not sure how long it would actually last
He needs to do a 1 year update
Hasn’t been a year yet 🤝
Update?
BRUH sick video! Honestly they need to give you some commission lol, because of your detailed video I'm about to buy the product lol. Keep up the good work!
Maybe one day 😂
You should take the time ti do research . Cause using spray adhesive if dine correctly and if you use the correct stuff you would get better results . With the spray adhesive you need ti spray both parts and let tack up b4 applying g fabric
Did all of this and still had poor results
This won't hold as good as using pro grade adhesive, u gotta do research and use the good stuff,I did mine 3 yrs ago and I live near Boston, hot summers and frezzing winters so that is the true test,its gotta be a high temp polymer 797 adheisive and use bully dog adhesion promoter for plastic,for plasic parts u need to paint,next time u know!Also u need to remove the old fuzzy backing off old parts before applying new materials,and last,u need the first coat or two to be cloudy,this way won't hold because lack of bite,Has to be done in light layers r paint will just peel!
If it fails one day I’ll retry with this advice, thanks mate 🤝
Product link
Certainly! A product link typically refers to an API URL that provides a full list of available products or titles in a library or retail digital collection. You can then perform searches based on this link to find specific items or filter and sort lists. Hope that helps!
It’s been a month how is it so far
So far so good 🤙
Ryan Trahan
they scammed me i orded it and they never send to me
We gotta do something about that 😤
When it gets stuck to its self does it come apart easily?
You can get it back apart yeah, there’s a spot in the video where I had that situation
That other place u suggest only us for Australia not USA
Great video
6 months. Where’s the update 👀
