Radio glass scratch

[northernmedia]

Anyone know a way of removing this scratch from the front the radio display?
Thought about polishing it out somehow?

That looks deep mate I think it's a new piece.
Doesn't cost to make a call to the dealers.

Any glass or plastic repair kit should do it. I bought a glass polishing kit on ebay for a nasty windscreen scratch which it removed as well as some deep scratches on a plastic rear light. It was actually pretty quick to do and totally successful.

Replace it. They are just stuck on.

Are all the models simply stuck on?

That type is defo stuck on.

Get a stanley knife blade and slowly lever it off.

Before doing this I would try a plastic polish kit. From memory they are pretty frightening ( it starts with sand paper!) but you have nothing to loose.

with Plastx doing, would have to be with dremmel, making it impossible to manually remove all the scratch.

glass have a cost, estimated at € 90

thanks for all your comments!

90 euros is a lot for just a piece of plastic but sounds a damn sight easier than scrubbing and potentially damaging something else!

The idea of polishing it is to use a fine blade lift it off without bending it, polish on a bench etc, then remove any glue residue on your car and on the back of the plastic and then re stick it.

It works well as long as your patient and have a steady hand
