Perfect Solution for Cigarette Burns on Car A-Pillar?
2 Answers
Replace the entire fabric headliner. You need to go to a 4S shop or a professional auto repair and beauty shop to have it done by a professional technician. Buy two headliner clips online to cover the burned area. Stick a favorite pattern to cover the burned area. Apply a band-aid of the same color to cover the burned area. Purchase a touch-up pen in the same color as the car roof for repair.
A couple of days ago, I just used a hot glue gun to repair a cigarette burn on the A-pillar of my car. First, I cleaned the black soot around the burn mark with alcohol wipes. If the plastic was burned into a small pit, I cut a small piece of black non-woven fabric, dipped it in epoxy resin glue, and filled the pit. After the glue dried completely, I lightly sanded it with water and wet sandpaper. Finally, I sprayed it with interior-specific repair paint. The most crucial part of the process is being patient with sanding—I used 800-grit sandpaper for twenty minutes to achieve a smooth finish. A reminder: don’t smoke in the car for two days after the repair, as high temperatures can cause the newly repaired area to turn yellow.
