Pitted windscreen

[james s]

The screen on my 993 is horrible. It is so pitted it looks like it has had a light sandblasting. Driving into the sun on mornings like this is no fun.

Can the be polished to remove this kind of damage and if so who does it or do I need to do a Brunters track day to ensure stone damage requires a new screen.

Fully comp insurance + a sharp rock + 50 quid = new windscreen, or so i'm told (and i'd wait until after the worst of the weather has gone, or the gritters will wreck your new screen).

Mine failed the MOT on a chip in the "A" zone I think,so a quick trip to windscreen replacement centre, paid the £50 excess, and the insurance paid the rest, so either wait for the MOT, or as someone said, the brick jobby will do it. Just make sure you are covered on your insurance first........
