Default What do you like best about your Tib?

The interior lining of my sunroof is fading... turning a sort of purplish color instead of the black it used to be. I'm guessing somehow the sun is affecting it? I dunno... but does anyone else have this problem, or anybody know what I can do to fix it?

Notice the picture below... mine isn't THAT bad, but it's noticable. See what I'm talking about?
--NOTE-- *that picture is not my car*

What is it made of? If it is cloth, get some black RIT dye. That should take care of it. If it is plastic, get some black vinyl dye.

well it is from sun damage.... and we have moon roofs not sun roofs, sun roofs are see-thur our have body paint. it is from leaving your roof open in the sun.. DO NOT PUT MAGIC MARKER ON IT. if water does hit it then it will and yes WILL run. soo go to your hyundai parts store and get a new one. it is an eazy install and i got mine for 65 bills.

Solo, get it redone how?

I might just look for some black weatherstripping that will fit on that edge.
