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

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

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

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.

Not all it's cracked up to be having a mint motor. Remember when I had my scooby, always worrying about it when parked up, etc. and being devastated if there was a little scratch on it's immaculate body

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!!
