While out in Ky for the F-Body gathering in KY, my glass was scratched.
During one of the rainstorms out there, my wiper went askew and put a nice 7 inch scratch in my glass <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" />
Its a surface scratch made by a clip for the blade.

Anyone know about glass repair? I believe this can be fixed without replacing the whole windshield.

Anyone with experience with this problem?

Thanks!!

Ouch! I know how you feel. My Ex-wife used one of those gas station squeegies on mine and it had dirt in it. Left little scratches all over the place. I've been using Zaino Z-5 on it and it does pretty good but you can still see them if you're looking. Depending on how bad yours is it might be worth a shot. I don't know about a true fix though.

Is there a corellation between her scratching my windshield and becoming my Ex? Hmmmm? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Ther are alot of glass companies that install "on site" But alot of them also offer chip & scratch repair.

They can fix it with a product called Rare Earth glass polish but if you can feel the scratch with your finger nail they can't fix it and you'll have to replace the wind shield.

Had the same thing happen to me and here's what I did and it worked for me.
I used mothers aluminum polish (since it's gritty) and buffed on the scratch with that, then I finished it off with Zanio glass polish. You can't tell it was ever scratched.

Aluminum polish?
That sounds odd..
I'm not saying its crazy.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
I just can't imagine using anything abrasive..thats if it really is abrasive...

Here is a pic to give you an idea of how bad it is..

From the pic..it doesnt 'seem' too bad...but from inside the car, and its shear length drives me up a wall!!!

Anymore thoughts?
Is there anything commercially available at part part stores that may help?

I'd like to take care of this next weekend...

Thanks guys!

LOL yeah-yeah it's crazy <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> but give it a try.
The stuff the pro's use to remove scratches is abrasive - it's a powder that they mix with water and it makes gritty paste. All you are doing is polishing the scratched area to a get it back clear. Just try a small spot and see how it does, if it work's then do the whole thing. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
