I also had a hard time getting the wrinkles on the edge to lay down. It took me a total of two hours to install everything. I too had to trim the edge. The first one had lot of wrinkles. It doesn't look good at all. I wonder of he sells just one lens cover? I want to reapply it. The second one has only one minor wrinkle so it looks great. After you do the first you learn from the mistakes and the the second is easier.

Just work slowly down and evenly as the instructions indicate. Wet the underside of the film. Heat the material. Remove the heat source and push the material down accross the curve in SMALL, EVEN increments. I made sure I pushed the material towards the two pointy tips of the lights to equalize the tension so that the wrinkles don't form.
