Noticed a small blister on the black vinyl on the van when gently pressed it feels like there's water behind it question is do I burst it with a pin and try and get the water out or is there a trick for getting the water out and sealing the blister to stop it filling up again , any advice would be welcomed

Gently warm it if it’s near an edge use a credit card to move the water to the edge of the vynal if it is air I don’t know

Do you have a photo please? People can usually help better if they can see the problem.

I had one of those on our AT. Just popped it with a pin and it flattened down nicely. No water just air and no idea why it just appeared

Hi Derry
It's on the passenger side just on the seam just after the door where the body widens out keeps filling up with water even after popping it and flattening it .

Attached is an image I took this morning. When the weather warns up (in the spring now) I'll give the card trick ago. I don't want to tackle it now as it feels quite brittle, and don't want to risk cracking the vinyl graphic.
