So yesterday I had one of those days.....I cruising on the GCP going to the mall and i have he music blasting with a song I haven't heard in a long time.....next thing you know I realized I was passing the exit I was supposed to take!! So I quickly throw the cigarrete out the window and get off the next exit. My hand hit the top of the inside of the door when I threw the cigarrete out and I noticed that although the I did throw the cigarrete out the window, the f%$^*&! lit part was stuck on my A pillar lit and burning a whole in it (Iknow I shouldnt be smoking in the car, especially after the leather install but I was really stressed out). Im so mad at myself....does anyone here have a gray a pillar (driver side) I was thinking of taking both off and doing some kind of reupholstering but I rather have stock there.....any advice?

 

Karma for littering ur cigs

 

lol ^

@ the OP, ____ sucks. I quit smoking when i bought my car just because i didn't want that ____ in my car. Happened on my old car.

Wahhh, boo frickin hoo, throwing lit cigarettes out of the window is a doucher move. Idiots who throw lit cigarettes out of a moving vehicle are why we lose acres of woodland and desert landscape in AZ and also in Cali... Should have used an old soda can or something. Hope you weren't looking for sympathy from anyone??

 

no sympathy....just venting....since I am responsable for all those fires maybe I should suggest your congressman uses me as an example for a commercial on tv........time of the month is it? This is why its the lounge.........mr perfection.

 

damn someone needs to relax.

to the OP, i know how you feel. i unfortunately have like 6 burn marks up on the a pillar and another prolly 5 down by the widnow buttons from cigarettes. ____ happens hahaha

 

Throwing lit cigs out the window is also the reason I got into an accident on my bike. Sorry man, get an ashtray.

 

Never said you were personally responsible for a fire, however, your lack of concern over how ignorant it is to just throw cigarette butts or lit cigarettes out of the window AND litter along the roadway shows the world a lot about your thought process day to day. Why should anyone give a rats **** about your venting if your doing something illegal and you burn your interior? I'm not wound up, I laughed fairly hard at your misfortune.

 

^amen

 

No sympathy for the devil

 

That ____ scares the crap out of me...I also swerve from all of the sparks SWWWWWOOOOOOSSSSSSSH.

 

@ OP, i know how you feel. I done the same thing. I'm sure you can find a scion at a junkyard and replace it that way.

@ Tealtoaster, you must be one of those drivers who complain about everyone for any little thing. Im sure your not the perfect driver in the world either.

@Roller_Toaster, how did the accident happen. I used to ride to im curious.

 

No worries mate... every part of the tc interior is relatively easy to remove and reupholster. did my a pillars in a black leather... ditch the grey dude.

 

1. remove panel.. a pillars just kind of snug clip in
2. clean the surface
3. apply heavy duty spray glue
4.stretch fabric over the glued surface... don't be shy with the glue
5 dry
6 re install

 

@seanjohn - riding, minding my own business.....cager in front of me flicks a lit cigarette out their window.....it flies out of their window...and directly into my helmet(had my visor cracked to let some air in). Doing about 60mph at the time.

 

lol i had like 50 burns around my window im my 2007 tc

 

I think Im just reupholster both pillars scince Im about to finish my black leaher redo Ill get some more leather and do the pillars.....thanks to those of you to understand and offer advice,,,,rest of you, feel sorry for you and so envious,,,you are sooo perfect>>>>>

 

I hate it when I try to throw my soda cans out the window and they scratch the fenders.

 

Ouch, and i bet the driver never stopped?

I had a teenager ride my rear, acting like he was going to hit me in my neighbor hood. I ended up seeing his car in the drive way, and had a nice talking to with his mom.

But yeah if you still ride, ride safe well best that you can.
