Here are a couple pictures of areas in my car that I want to improve. I know I could do a quick fix if I could bring these pieces inside near my ironing board and sewing machine. But I feel stuck seeing as they are affixed.
The first area is the cover for my sun roof. It appears that it was left open by the previous owner and a light in the car was left on and burned a spot in the fabric. Suggestions on how to cover?
The second area is the visor on the driver's side. Looks like the former owner stored their briefcase or suitcase in that area so the elastic is not taut. Suggestions on how to make it tighter?
I'm sure I look a little silly here but I really don't have any ideas.
Thanks!
as for the elastic, i would cut it out, buy a pattern or make your own design of a CD case for a visor and slip it over the visor and wala problem should be solved!
you could make matching over the seat covers. those ones that hang on the back of the front captains chairs and hold all the kids stuff, movies/games, maps, umberellas etc. Make it out of Packers fabric! and you could tailgate with every trip!!!
hope these ideas help!

Well I wanted to take pictures of the interior of my car to send you, but my daughter has my car!
anyway i did not have a burn on the roof interior, but i have numerous photo badges of our kids from sports and band so i would take the past season activity and put them in the fabric above the visor so my angles are with me all day long. I like the little collage it creates.
Hope this is an idea, if your babes are not in sport stuff yet, you can buy those badges and create your own.
good luck!

I don't know how to fix such things but I do know they sell header liner (that's the name of it) at Jo-Ann's. Maybe you could google "head liner repair" and see what results.

I don't know how to fix it, but I can agree with you that it is annoying. My mom had a car that had that elastic visor holder that was all stretched out just like yours.
