Quickie about the windshield

yes I STFF, using keywords "wiper, scratch, windshield", no luck

Well the deal is I don't drive our 230 much. The wife did, and with us working opposite shifts, I rarely see the car. Well before she went overseas for a year, she kept saying something was wrong with the wipers. So I'm thinking they need replacing. Well I got to lookin at the car today AND washing, and damn! She is queen of understatement. Well it turns out the it so bad its bad scratching the windshield. So a couple ?s.

1) Any way of buffing them out? never seen this on a windshield before, they don't appear to be too deep.

2) If not, whats replacement running on these things?....my search did turn up about "G", but that was about a year old post....I assume price hasn't change much.

damn, damn, DAMN!

Not necessarily true. It all depends on your coverage and what you pay for it., where you are in regards to state regulations, your deductible, etc.

If the wipers damaged the windshield there might be a possibility for a warranty claim.

That's kinda the lines I was thinking along. But I know most warr. dont cover wiper blades themselves,was wondering how they go about assessing damage cause by possibly worn/defective blades. I see me now going to that pisspoor service dept at the dealer of mine and them saying well you should have changed the blades.

Why doesn't your Insurance cover it?

I never said they didn't. I don't know, hence, why I said "I'll have to check".

if the insurance company wont replace it unless it cracked, you can wash your car convinently after its been sitting under the sun with one of those shinny sunshades behind it
