My wife suggested stitches. My son thinks a Shamu patch would be awesome. All I know is I don't want it to get any bigger. Anybody have any practical experience with this?

I cannot vouch for this but you could do some research or ask around. A girl I had met in the 90's said her boyfriend used paper insulation( you know the non itchy kind) and elmers glue. I know that sounds crazy, but hear me out. She explained to me that her boyfriend fixed a burn mark his dumb *** buddy placed on the overhead. Regular wood glue should work well if you choose to try this you may find a better more responsive glue to use.

You mix a glob of glue the size of the blemmish you want to cover with a larger amount of the insulation.

Smash that and roll it, whatever, just mix it real good.

Dab a little of the same glue into the hole or blemmish.

Immediately add the globe of insulation.

Press it in lightly but firm enough to get it to stick.

It should match the color well, but you may need to buy a paint pen to blend it better if there is fadding or if the cover or carpet is a differant color than the insulation.

This idea seems pretty soun, however I have never tried it so please test it on something differant than the car first.

-Pop the a-pillar cover off

-Take the visor and visor tab out

That part of the pillar should now be free enough to work with. If it isn't, pull the door gasket and/or the b-pillar cover too.

Now see if you can GENTLY pry off the material around it. Pull just enough to get that rip up. Then very carefully spray some 3M glue on it and carefully lay the whole thing back down, smoothing as you go. Use tweezers to move the ripped part back into the right place.

Go to the autoparts store for the 3M.

OR...

Go with Shamu. That's what I would do but, then again, I'm lazy. lol
