Simple...same thing I say to anyone when they get into my car...no eating, no smoking, and you are not allowed to have anything sharp in your pockets.
Also comes with a disclaimer...if you do any of the above, and cause damage, you will pay to fix it.
IMO your buddy owes you a new headliner.
Cheap fix, paint over it, get some material like it and glue it in, try that kit that advertise on TV for leather and upholstery.

Yeah what makes it worse is when it happens nobody admits to it. I think I'll just not drive anyone in my back seats anymore. Resulting in less miles on my car and will keep it burn free in the future it's a win win for me.

I know how you feel. My wife burnt a spot on my car too. When we took a long trip her son poked a **** load of holes in the back armrest vinyl with a pencil tip. Talk about being pissed...

You would cringe if you saw mine. It is required that you smoke while you ride in it, I encourage drinks to put out the occasional rug fires that ensue, God washes it when He wishes it to be clean, etc. It was born to be a Winter beater (front wheel drive and the like) and it will be treated as such.
