Default Need help fixing cigarette burns

The first owner of my car put two nasty cigarette burns along the top of the driver side window in the fabric. I'm sick of looking at them so... Any ideas on how to fix them? or how much it would cost to have it re-upholstered?

Sorry about the poor image quality. Pictures were taken with my phone.




This one is pretty deep.


This one isn't as deep as the other, but it still burnt through the fabric a little.

Looks like it's time for a custom interior. Suede FTW.

if you know someone in your area that can do it that would be best. Unless you willing to travel to chicago I know a guy that does a great job.

Maybe $50 for materials to microsuede the roof if you've got enough experience to do it yourself. Otherwise probably a few hundred at a shop

wow....that sucks! I'm very touchy when it comes to my car... I dont smoke, (know you dont either), hell I wont even let a soda sit in the cupholder...no food/drink in my baby.
most of my experience is with building...not as much for reupolstering...but if what the guy above said if you can get the fabric cheaper...then go for it... On the A-pillar...maybe you could find a good used one w/o marks on it... if you do just make sure it is the breakaway one since you have the side SRS airbags.
If you re-fab it yourself/or have a shop do it...please re-post with new pics...and let the rest of us know how it went with costs and maybe a few DIY steps...Im sure you're not the only one that has had interior damage.
thanks.

I feel sorry for your damaged. you should give up local cigarette and try e cigarette which is free from those danger. i am thinking about new one. what is journey with e cigarette please share with me.
