A ball pene hammer will fix your problem

Na not me, honest as the day. But someone else just told me I can get one anyway due to the sand blasting. Might give the insurance company a ring an see if they go at it.

I was just thinking that, mines a late 2005 and I recently left a very nasty scratch just gently using a razor blade to remove a sticker. Back door is the same.
My windscreen is very badly sand blasted too from oncoming traffic. It seems awfully piss weak compared to most other vehicles I can think of. Yet to score a rock in the right place to finish it off though and get a new one!
And yet while scratching so easily it's copped a few decent rocks at speed and never a crack, some minor chips is all. It's like the glass is a little softer than you would expect.

Gidday Mick,
Be mindful that if you scratch a toughened glass (back windscreen or door glass) it will make it more susceptible to going "bang" as it weakens the glass. Large, sudden heat changes or a hit in the area of the scratch are its weak spots.
