I was driving my fiance's Ford Explorer today and accidentally burned a hole on my left side on the fabric that is right between the window and the buttons to control the windows. The fabric is a dark gray with lighter gray square specks. I know i can't make it go away, but is there any possible way to make it less noticeable? I just want to make it so that my fiance won't see it, cuz he is VERY OCD and if he sees it he will go NUTS and there will be a big argument, and he probably will never let me drive his car again lol. Anyway, any constructive ideas would be very helpful. Thanks for your time! : )
 
You would need to snip a small patch of the material from a place behind the door panel (or other hidden place where excess material is found) and then carefully slide it into the burn area etc. Stop at an upholstery shop and see what they say.

here is a trick for you. find a hidden part of matching fabric, scrape it with a razor blade, get enough to fill the hole. Put some super glue
( just a light coat) place the scraped fabric onto the super glue, use static electricity to raise the nap a little. After it dries brush lightly with a small brush.
