window scratches

Just curious........I have three small scratches,not very deep ,but visible on my passenger side window.No biggie ,but my eyes are drawn to them every time I look out that side.Is their any way to polish them out ?Or if worse comes to worse how much would a new side window be for the P5 be if I wanted to replace it entirely?
As always I appreciate your combined wisdom.

I don't think either option is really viable.

I talked to a shop about polishing out some small scratches on my windows a long time ago, and basically was told to forget about it. Almost impossible, and very costly.

As for replacement - maybe a used window would be more economical. With a little searching, you could probably find one in near-mint condition.

Tell you what tho - my little scratch is right where the side mirror is - so I see it all the time. After a while, it won't bother you as much. Just give it some time, and then decide if it's worth all the trouble to ya'.

Well on my girlfriends Accord, we had to replace the front and rear drivers side windows before tinting. The estimate we received was $200 for the front and $165 for the rear. I called our insurance company and it was covered under the vandalism. I had the window shop install new belt line seals which set me back $50 but better safe than sorry.

Are the scratches on the inside or outside? Did the belt line seals cause it? If so, wouldn't your warranty cover this?
