Pictures are pretty much self explanatory. I bought the car with that small burnt cigarette patch. How can I fix it or patch it up? Nothing comes to my mind on how to patch it up.

It really ****s me because today someone came into my car and they literally complimented on how clean the car was and then they see that patch and it just ruins that whole clean, new car feel. <_< It's an eyesore.

maybe try and find the closest match you can for fabric, cut to shape and glue...? dunno if that would work.. is the burn all the way through?

Nah, it's not all the way through. Just a surface burn. It would be quite hard to find the same material though. I just really want a cheap fix that could cover it up. Even if someone could tell it's been patched at least it won't be as bad as it is now.

go to the wreckers with a stanley knife, cut a piece from a wrecked aurion and patch yours up.

or u can get a same colour texta and colour it in :D

edit: in this case, i'd rather it burn all the way through, saves u time from cutting it off your car :P

That's what I would do. Or find a close colour paint or spray paint and lightly cover it. At least that will create less of a distinction between the colour differences.

Otherwise, you could remove the entire headliner and either replace it, or dye it another colour.

As these have the flocking sprayed on you may find that a craft shop can help you out. You get the spray glue and then the flocking that needs to be sprayed on. Check in the craft shop and am sure they can help you out. Colour matching could be a bit more interesting but will still look heaps better than it is now.

Hey this is a good idea. Never thought of a craft store. There is one at my local shopping centre so I'll pay a visit there. Also thanks for everyone else who put in your ideas. I hope I can find the right stuff to fix this patch up.

Cheers :)

how about looking at a motor trimmer i'm sure they would be able to help you out if not they would be able to recover it fairly cheaply .

Oh yeah. Another good idea. Thanks guys. Been big help. Will get around to getting this fixed soon. Just very busy these days :(

      2001 Toyota Camry wagon passenger side locks not working

      Had a similar issue with my 2003 Camry sedan. I'm think the mechanism might be bit stiff, so removing the door card and spraying the locking cable (the one that pushes the lock knob into the lock and unlock position on the interior door handle) with some Innox might work to loosen up the old grease and get it working again.

      2007 - floor mats

      Hi Ed, Hmm that's a tough one mate ..short of going to Toyota to get genuine and no I doubt they would laugh at you as it's a sale and money is tight right now. I am not sure if you are on Facebook or not but I have seen an advert on there for what looks like superb floor mat sets that do seem excellent quality and a wide range but like most things now they are not cheapish. My best advice is source some good quality ones and search online for someone who offers embroidery as some do tradie shirts and logos on clothing it may be worth a phone call to those sort of places as I know a local one to me does all sorts of work on many things related to embroidery or an alternative choice is the online sites like Temu... EBay etc Let us know how you get on mate good luck. KAA

      2001 Toyota Camry wagon passenger side locks not working

      Gday, I've got a 2001 Camry wagon which has been having locking issues for a while now, just started occurring out of the blue. There is no fob so we manually unlock and lock from the driver side door, however the rear and front passenger doors consistently have issues. Either when we unlock one or both doors don't unlock and must be unlocked from inside the car, or when we lock it one or both don't lock and the car beeps. To fix that, we open the door, lock it from the inside, the lift up the handle and close the door before releasing the handle. That fixes the locking issue. When testing the locks from inside the car, I can see that they partially lock and unlock, so I'm wondering if they need to be replaced entirely or if there's some other way to fix it. Cheers

      2002 Hilux Engine Replacement

      I have a 2002 Hilux that is meant to have a 5le engine but i think it was replaced with a new engine with a turbo before i bought it. Its a different engine compared to what is in the manual - eg the alternator is at the bottom not the top as per the manual. The engine is seized - tried roll starting downhill and wheels just locked up. I cant find what the engine is. Any ideas on where I would find it? Also 5LE engines are hard to find - any ideas on what else i could put in? Does a 1KZ fit?

      Engine conversion

      I have a 2002 Hilux that is meant to have a 5le engine but i think it was upgraded to a turbo version before i bought it. Its a different engine compared to what is in the manual - eg the alternator is at the bottom not the top as per the manual. The engine is seized - tried roll starting downhill and wheels just locked up. I cant find what the engine is. Any ideas on where I would find it?
