Scratched Glass
Does any know how to remove a scratch from glas. I have a good size scratch in the passanger side glass. It will catch your fingernail if you drag it across. Is this to deep to repair. The glass is the original and I would prefer to keep it.

yeaaa... about that. You should see my windows. To tell you the truth, I havnt even seen them since the doors were put back together. With no top either, I just keep them rolled down. My baby sits in its own locked up garage covered and heated in the winter (minus one motor right now). It only comes out when there is definatley no chance of rain.

A good glass shop shouldn't have any trouble. I had a good sized rock chip out of my windshield and the local shop happened to be at my work. They looked at it and said no problem, I'd never see it after repairs. Unfortunately, it spider webbed before I could get an appointment, so I can't tell you how well it works.

I would do like the others said,, check out a shop. But if you want to do it yourself, 3M has an excelent polishing system, enybody can do it, its the expeience that will do the difference, its not easy to remove the distortion after the blending.......

Good glass shops can grind the glass to look like new, however the process is very expensive..(here in IL anyway) They wanted to charge $150.00 an hour, and estimate at least 1 hr for side glass. Also want the glass removed from the car (which mine was) Eastwood co sells a grinding kit for the do it yourselfer...but it takes skill. You can easily distort the glass if you do it wrong. Polishing kits work well and are easy to use...but will not remove scratches.
Good luck with your decision
