Burn Mark in Fabric above drivers window

My sister borrowed my car and burned a whole in the fabric near the roof just above the
drivers window. I tried to use the burn kit to repair the whole but
just looks worse. Any ideas or products that i can use or anything i can do to try and
cover or fix the burn marks would be great. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG]

Man, another reason no one should smoke. There really is no way to get a burn mark out. That's fabric, once it's burned it's ruined. The fibers are damaged.

Well, there really isn't a whole lot you can do. What color is your interior. If it is the tan color or a light color, you can make it look a little better. Just scrape away as much of the burnt fabric as you can and dye the spot the color of your interior. It won't be perfect, but it will be less noticeable.
