Stan 24v 0 Posted January 30, 2006 Ive got some sh*tty horrible scratches down my drivers side front window, probably due to grit in the seal :mad: Anyway, can I get rid of them? Or is it a case of "some kids hit a cricket ball through it" and get a new one for £60? ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phil K 0 Posted January 30, 2006 AFAIK the scratches on the windows are caused by the metal clips that hold the window rubbers to the door... so if you do polish the glass or replace it then it's going to be worth replacing the rubber/clips and making sure they sit 'right'against the glass... I've got a spare window in the garage which will be used to sort mine out eventually so if anyone wants to practice on my scratched glass for me they're more than welcome ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dixxy 0 Posted January 30, 2006 Its my windscreen thats scratched and the scratches run top to bottom and not in a wiper arch so F$#K knows how they got there... angry cats?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted January 31, 2006 Ha.. Think yours it bad, think again. Mine had a run with barbed wire, guess what won. Plastic trim is a mess, so new screen required me thinks :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quicky1980 0 Posted January 31, 2006 i have these scratches too on both sides. i went to a window specialists and they said that the side glass arent able to be polished out due to how they are made. is this true? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corradophil 3 Posted January 31, 2006 Its my windscreen thats scratched and the scratches run top to bottom and not in a wiper arch so F$#K knows how they got there... angry cats?? Do you use an ice scraper? I've managed to scratch my windscreen with that. I also had a stone under my drivers side wiper which scratched a lovely arc into the screen.
