scratched windshield

i was walking over to my car the other day and i noticed some bird droppings on my windshield. so i took a wet paper towel and wiped it off. sadly, there was stuff in the bird droppings that apparently scratched my windshield. does anyone know how i can possibly fix this problem?

Bird's often eat up rocks and it just goes straight through their digestive system and back out....no problems ~

So I'm guessing it's rock ~ Anyways....how big is the scratch?

I think you can buy a glass scratch sealing thing that just fills in the scratch with liguid glass.....and dries up and you won't see the scartch anymore ~

I'm not sure.....it's just from memory ~

i guess i'll go to kragen or something to see if they have nething but i do like that liquid glass idea haha. the scratch is in a blind spot created by the rear-view mirror so yea it's not really a big deal but i'd like to have a clean looking windshield instead of a scratched one and it's about 3cm-4cm long and not that deep

Now let's just hope Jaspie wasn't dreaming and making up things ~

I'm sure I've seen those around though.....correct me if I'm wrong ~

my windshield also has two scratches that run horizontal in my direct view! i was cleaning my windshield with a towel and there must have been some debris which caused the two scratches.

these windshields suck! how could they possibly scratch so easily?

I got so many scratches on my windshield, like my car was at a warzone. I drove too much.

WTF????? Where did this come from??? Who got up your pants?

Have you read the venom Pavel has been spreading on this forum? You might think again why I took a sarcastic dig at him.

Anyway thanks for your support. Have a nice day.
