Default Windsheild Repair

Hi guys! I have a 1963 corvette roadster with a windshield that has one of this scraps or scratches across the drivers side of the window. It doesn't stop me from driving but it sure is annoying.
Not sure a glassworks place will touch it. Any suggestions?

From a wiper arms dragging across the glass?
Replace the windshield. Any attempt to buff it out will make the problem much worse with distortion

Not necessarily....see if there is a www.superglass.com franchise nearby and call them out to do an assessment...
They buffed wiper scratches out of my split window windshield prior to judging with no problem...

I've recommended them to several others here that were quite happy with the results...

That looks very interesting as I have some wiper scratches too and just thought W/S replacement was the only option.
