No idea what has happened but was washing my car and when I got to the windows noticed a huge double scratch line right through the windscreen running in line with the wiper direction. I've only used the wipers once in a bit of a downpour.

Pretty annoying as it's deep and I can't see how it could of happened. Tried the old tooth paste trick but must be deeper than surface scratches.

My new C250d was about $800 change out which I thought was reasonable. It didn't have HUD but had the full camera setup.
Sorry to hear mate ! I've noticed some scratches too but unsure if they're still there or not with all the Melbourne downpour.

Hope it's not a windscreen replacement ! Btw - what is the old toothpaste trick do ?
I had a windscreen company have a look at it and they showed me a whole heap of cuts in the glass that I never saw before ... not sure where they have come from as I've only done 600ish km and haven't been on any road trips.

Insurance is replacing it. Glass co said it's too deep for a repair.

I was told about light scratches that if they are surface and not deep , buffing the area with a toothpaste with baking soda takes them out rather well. Have done it before on previous cars but no luck this time around unfortunately
