If it does not seal on every edge I would not put this on my car. Not sure if you saw my thread a while back but here is what happened to me.

Definitely needs sanded and repainted.

On a side not I do have a slightly used cf roof cap for sale. $20 plus paypal fees and shipping.

The edges were not sealed and water got in then was trapped in the back as that part was sealed and it rusted the **** out of my roof. Pretty sure if I had left it a few more months it would have eaten all the way through the roof.

Vinyl first may work, especially if you car is not black you will probably want to do at least the edges anyway so the color does not show. But I guess if you had 3M all the way around with no gaps at all it would not leak but after what I went through I would not even take the chance on that.
