Arc windscreen scratch

I have a very light arc scratch on my windscreen, its only visible in certain light conditions. i can't feel it with my nail, have these cars cars got a solar coating ?
I think it may be the coating that's scratched, not so good after 7,000 mls.
Any ideas how to fix, i can live with it but would rather not.

From something caught under the wiper? In the US the "Acoustic Comfort Package" gets a solar film on the windshield, but I believe it's on the inside.
