I scratched the outside of my windshield
We had some pretty crappy weather here today (ice and snow). The SVX handled flawlessly, but I didn't have an ice scraper to clear my windshield, so I stupidly used a metal t-square. Here is the result. Is there a way to get these out or diminish them or is it new windshield time?

Re: I scratched the outside of my windshield
Sorry to see this happen..I've done my share of foul-ups. If your fingernail catches in those ruts which I suspect it will, none of the OTC glass scratch compound/polish wheel kits will work. A new windshield seems the only way but not sure who carries them these days...getting pretty rare.

Re: I scratched the outside of my windshield
That's what I figured. I was quoted $261. Think I'll go this route as I had some pretty bad cracks in it anyway.

Re: I scratched the outside of my windshield
I wonder if your insurance would cover that "act of vandalism"?

Re: I scratched the outside of my windshield

Re: I scratched the outside of my windshield
Sean486, unfortunately I only have liability auto insurance. Unless you think home owners would cover it. However, it'd be hard to explain why they only scratched the windshield and not the rest of the car.
92Snowmachine, thanks. I'd be curious to know how much it is. I called a few places around here and they all seem to be in the 280 range. I really had to cheap the guy down to get a $20 discount. That's including tax and everything.

Re: I scratched the outside of my windshield
Sorry to see this happened!
Please be careful on the new one! Do you know what color is the new one? This seems really cheap. I remember I was under impression that the OEM windshield was cost more than $900 plus installation. This should not be the OEM type and doesn't have the coatings OEM ones have but I would definitely take it for the price. Take some pictures and let us know how it turns out.

Re: I scratched the outside of my windshield
I'd be happy just to know I found someone who carried a replacement windshield for my SVX...is your supplier a nationwide outfit like SafetyLite?
