Help!!!

Hi folks!

Need a little advice! Basicly i've had my GTI one week! Some scrotum has decided to 'accidently' key my side window and now I have a big lovely 13inch scratch right down it! Does anyone know how to remove it?

P.S I would love to catch one of these T***s in action, I would be getting used to a cold cell if i do!

if its on the window then you got no chance of removing it I'm afraid.

See how much your glass excess is on your insurance, usually about £60 and you wont loose you no claims. Then ring them up, tell em its smashed and they will send out a person to replace it on ur drive way.

When you know the time, take a hammer to it about 30mins before the day they are going to arrive.

Job done.

how DEEP are we talking here ?

if its a LIGHT sctrach they it can be polished out but its LOADS of elbow grease.

I have polished may a gouge out of aircraft canopies.

as said, fcuk site easier to change the window. unless its a mk5 then theres loads of motors being broken

can you feel the scratch with ypour finger nail if you run it along the surface?  i had to polish a patio door at work as i managed to scratch it when i was fitting it  took fekin ages but managed to get it out

It's medium, the thing is i'm trying to sell it too so can't go through the insurance and need to get rid asap! How much is it to replace the window(mk5).  It's depressing to think that the person who done this can just get away with it and could easily do it again ! I'm getting paranoid now and starting to hate having the car !

You are talking about micromesh arn't you? This is not really available to the average Joe public.

If I were you, I would pull another screen out of a scrapped car and fit that. It takes about an hour and is not that bad a job. Launching a brick through it for insurance purposes is a cowboy act and just makes a mess, and you will never get all the glass up.
You may get an insurance job on it without smashing it though, if the damage is bad enough.

true, but joe public can allus be supplied 

or if being really nasty, plastic polish  if he has a spare month or two
