I found this on the site below. I hope it helps!

How can I repair a small cigarette burn in my car's carpeting?

Move the passenger's seat all the way to the rear. Take a small, sharp pair of scissors and reach under the seat and cut some of the carpet fibers off – enough to fill the area you wish to repair. Make sure the repair area is nice and clean – free of dust, oil, grease, etc. Now, hold the cut fibers in a bunch – so that the ends are about even. Put a small dollop of Elmer's White Glue on the repair spot. Now place the end of the cut fibers into the hole and sort of wiggle them to get them glued-up on the end. Now, release the fiber bunch. It will stick in place. Now, CAREFULLY organize/arrange the new fibers to look natural. The glue will set in an hour or less, but do not touch the repaired area for 24-hours. NOTE: Do not use super glue type products for this repair. Super glue dries brittle, and it will crack and let loose of the fibers in a relatively short time. It also makes them stand a bit differently than the original carpet.
