Default Scratch on windows

So I was detailing my car yesterday, when I noticed a plethora of tiny scratches on the inside of my drivers window.

They're maybe 1/8" in length, and have barely scratched the surface of the glass, so they aren't too deep. Fingernail won't catch on them, but I can feel the difference.

I was planning on getting my windows tinted soon. Is this something that would prevent this? Or would the adhesive from the tint fill in the scratch and make it less noticeable?

And, if it means I'm hosed, does anyone know of a place that sells window glass for our cars?

Thanks

you could try a glass polishing kit, or go to a glass shop and see if they can polish them out.

I've got some noticeable scratches in my passenger side window. After pulling the door panels off, it looks like the previous owner spent a lot of time on dirt roads. I'm gonna look for some place to salvage one I guess. Does anyone know if windows are all the same between 93-02? Or with Firebirds too?

I wud say tinting will cover/fill the ones ur talking about, if they don't catch a fingernail shudnt be an issue. Dark tint ull never notice em. I had same issue. Tint covered well.
