Scratched windscreen

[mcurrie977]

Hi wondered if anyone could offer advice.

Bought my 182 recently, but unfortunately the previous owner left it with a scratch on the windscreen right in viewing line which is pretty annoying. I would guess that the wiper blades did it, im guessing they were completely worn or fitted badly?

Just wondered if anyone could knew if it would be possible to do a repair job that wouldnt involve a new windscreen?

Ive tried to take pictures but its dark outside right now but if anyone could offer advice I would be very grateful!

if you can feel it with your finger nail then its not repairable. take it to a windscreen place and see what they say. You could get it replaced through your insurance.

Id just get a new windscreen through insurance bud, providing you have cover.

Wont cost you any excess and be pennies.

Us old b*****ds used to use Brasso to take out surface marks like that.

This works for light scratches - that photo seems to require a windscreen replacement tbh.

Mine is like that too, passed MOT with it, was flagged as an advisory though.

Edit: yours does look a bit worse though.

Thanks for the help, took the advice and contacted insurance co and got windscreen replaced. Unfortunately the auto wipers just seem on a standard setting now no matter how much it rains. Does this mean they haven't connected something right?
