Yup, keep noticing more chips & what not. :(

Sometimes think I should just buy an old X5 or something & not give a fuck about it looking shabby!!

This is true, lass at work wanted it changed on her Auris but didn't want a non-Toyota one so asked for a Toyota one and that's what was fitted.

Yeah it will specifically say you want a Genuine Ford screen.

I had my Audi one replaced which had all the auto wiper sensor, heated screen stuff for £50.00

You can get glass polish, but I'd imagine it depends how deep the scratch is.

Pretty sure there is something you can buy to get light scratches out of windows, think I may have seen Rich using it? worked well from what I remember.

Jumped in the car earlier & the window wipers came straight on.

There must have been a small stone or something stuck on the blade & now ive got a lovely scratch almost right along the windscreen.

Any way I can get this removed??

Getting fed up trying to keep a car nice when random stuff like this happens:mad:
