To go along with my other thread... ANT baits were left in new car to try to rid ant problem that manifested itself in BRAND NEW CAR 10 days later. When I took to dealer to have them put on lift and all neither me nor any of the service guys thought to remove a couple ant baits (black roach motel looking things with laced peanut butter) from the dash. When I left for the day in loaner car they were no removed. One melted and I guess when removed caused the below TINY TINY tears. They annoy me though no one would ever see them unless they were looking. How can I fix this??? I've thought get a Sharpie to touch it up but I would want to make sure I was using the exact same color..

I'd go with the sharpie approach. I had some scratches in the interior of my truck on textured surface like yours and this forum couldn't come up with a solution besides sharpie.
 
Sharpie will not match. It's dries to a purplish-brown color. Might have better luck with a matte finish model paint and a Micro Brush.

Another, probably better solution would be to ask the dealership who they use to touch up their used car interiors.
