Automotive vinyl hairline cracks- brand new

I don't tend to have the greatest luck, for those that know my story.

Anyway, the latest in my saga is that I got some dark brown automotive vinyl for my 911, but every eight inches or so, there is a loose line across the vinyl of interspersed tiny cracks in the vinyl. You can only see them in the correct light at viewing angles of about 70 degrees or more. I have covered one RS door panel with it, so when the doors are open, they don't look great. They look fine from straight on.

See below. I am assuming I got a bad batch of vinyl. Thoughts?

not bad


looking good.


Sunlight. On the right side you can kind of see the vertical lines.


Awww crap...
