If the scratch isn't too deep you might have some luck with a glass polishing kit. I think you can find them at AutoZone or Pep Boys etc. Most glass installers will polish out minor ones for a fee. Never got a price so I don't know if it's fair or robbery. Be careful when working you glass. If don't improperly you could make the situation worse.

Back to the question at hand - it is probably better to just live with the scratch if you can. I have had glass guys try to remove a scratch on another car. Naturally, they don't like to turn down business, so they tried. They did get it smooth, but when you looked through it, the view was all distorted.
Maybe tinting over it would help.

Seriously though, if you go with someone who is experienced with high end cars you can avoid the problems because they know how much it will cost them to replace your glass for you. My guy used a marker to outline the cut, then took the tint off of the car and hung it from a big whiteboard he'd rigged with clips. Once he had it hung he made all of the cuts on the board instead of on the car. Smart guy, and one I would recommend for anyone here in north Texas.

I have a tint guy in Clearwater Florida that uses a vinyl cutter, more commonly used by sign graphic guys. He has specs for glass sizes and punches the specs into his computer. The cutter cuts the film to size so that he does not have to do any cutting on the car. There has to be others out there that do the same.
