What type of vinyl did you use,? There's a technique to wrapping around rivets. Based on the limited info... Either bad installation, or it was a calendared vinyl, which will pull up. To answer your question about using laminate to fix that issue... Never heard of that. Not sure how it would help.

That's the laminate, a calendared laminate. Even if you used a cast vinyl... That calendared lam will pull up.

Edit, for some reason my eyes read 3420. Still, a calendared. Which might be the problem.

That is very gender-specific of you guy.
Wow! Seriously! There is song called, Oh Boy, should we cancel them? Haha, Oh Boy is also just an expression. It has no intention of being gender-specific!!!!!!

pics or it never happened. ....but i can imagine what a trailer wrapped in calendared media over rivots looks like!
cheap wraps are cheap wraps, but you gotta know your limitations: that stuff should be on flat surfaces only.

If you intend to be stretching/forming over rivots & bridging over panel seams, then you should be picking a material designed for this purpose or simply using the cheapest media possible and designing/applying/cutting-out around these points of failure.
