ah!! Help with cosmetics (dashboard, window frame, roof top) hurricane damage

I've been meaning to post ever since Hurricane Wilma (October 2005)

Some tiles flew off my roof and damaged my car, insurance was a no go, so now I'm stuck, need a few suggestions on how to get these fixed or improved.

the door frame:

easily removeable/replaceable?

then the tile (orange colored) scraped the window:

i've tried tons of liquids and it does not come off

then there's the roof that's been chipped by the tile:


and then there's the air bag cover that i accidently removed the paint from:



suggestions appreciated

1. get a new airbag/cover
2. You need to have the hood sanded, primed, repainted... hopefully that rust hasn't gotten too deep or spread too far
3. You have to get a bodyshop to fix that door fram dent...
4. Use a fine-cut polish on the window - should take those marks off.

Or use a razor blade on the window with a little water.

.. well if u have black interior its easy fix.. they sell vynl paint and that **** works... i mean i painted my airbag on teh steering when i replaced it with a Preforated steeringwheel.. and i had brown airbag.. painted it black ... with vynl paint and it looks liek it was always black....

so if u can find color... than use the brown paint... try it.. i mean.. if u cant find another one... and a bit diff shade of brown is the worst that can happen.
