water damage on roof liner

so i was an idiot and left my sunroof open over night which accumulated some rain and snow. Needless to say the roof lining suffered some water damage and there is spotting at each of the pillar points. ive heard water spots are pretty much impossible to remove, anyone have any suggestions for cleaning?

If not where is the cheapest place to get an ivory roof liner? i saw curry acura has it for about 450 or so.

ill try a steam cleaner, thought id check the forums first before i tried anything in case somethin might make it worse, someone else mentioned in some other forums that i should use the cleaning solution but add some isopropyl alcohol to the solution. what do you think about that?

you may want to post this in the detailing section.

You really need to see how it looks once it is bone dry.

Yeah water spots are basically impossible to remove..You can try some carpet cleaner like resolve or spotshot or something but i don't think they will come out.

Before you do anything go and ask in the detailing forum. You don't want to make it worse.
