I've got a scratch on my SUV's windshield. It seems it is related to a bad windshield wiper arm that made contact with the glass. Any idea on how to get rid of this?

Thanks

 

Thats too bad, I have the same problem with my honda accord due to old wiper blades. I went to a auto glass shop and they told me that it will cost me more for the labor buffing it than replacing it with a brand new windsheild. Due to my frustrations, i ended up trading the car.
You can check with your local auto glass store. Good luck..

 

yup, glass can be buffed out- but it is such a difficult process (to get it back to clear) that it becomes more expensive than replacement usually.
it does depend on how deep the scratch is. i have buffed out lotsa very small scratches (more like swirl marks in glass- i used glass polishes with a porter cable for those), but have not had any luck with deeper ones.

 

What state do you live in? I live in Florida and we get 2 free windshields a year I think if you have full coverage. I have some tiny marks on my windshield, I'm getting me a new one. ;o)

 

what kind of ins is that >????

 

It is all ins companies in FL that do this, it's a law here. Very nice and you do not have to pay a decuctible for it either. Good luck man,

You need to call your insurance company and get a clarification on that one!!!!!!! Don't think any insurance company gives away auto glass.

I happen to be in the industry and have been for over two decades.

 

well i do know that fl is a no fault state.

 

Doesn't mean anything when it comes to auto glass. No fault only applies to accidents.
