How to Repair a Cigarette Burn on the Car Roof?

[Braylen]

Here are the methods to repair a cigarette burn on the car roof: 1. Replace the entire fabric headliner; this method is not recommended as it requires excessive cost and must be done at a 4S shop or professional auto repair and beauty shop by skilled technicians. 2. Alternatively, purchase two headliner clips online to cover the burned area. 3. Stick a preferred design or a same-colored band-aid over the burned spot to conceal it. 4. Or use a touch-up pen matching the roof color for repair.

Last time I went camping, a friend smoked in the car and burned the roof. Repairing this fabric headliner depends on the situation. If only the surface fibers are scorched, you can first use small scissors to trim the blackened part flat, then scrape some matching fibers from under the seat or a hidden spot in the trunk (many cars come with a repair kit) and use special adhesive to stick them down firmly. If the burn has created a small hole, you’ll need to remove the entire headliner, patch it from the back with fabric, and spray a suede repair agent. A reminder: never use regular glue—I tried it, and it hardens into ugly lumps. The trickiest part is if the burn reaches the edge of the sunroof seal—you must take it to a professional shop, or it could lead to leaks.
