The previous owner of my vert had stuck a bumper sticker for his college on the *&%$@ing rear window of the convertible- so long ago that it had long since fused itself to the window when I tried to get it off. So, I ended up having to scrape the damn thing off- and in the process slipped and put a several inch score into the window with my scraper. Now, I need to figure out how to fix it- or at least make it look a bit better.

First off- is the rear window on the 'verts (S4 if it makes a difference) actually glass? I'd assume so with the defroster there, but it seemed to score more easily than I would have expected. If so (or even if not), does anyone have any suggestions as to how to fill in and 'remove' the score?

Sorry for not posting a picture- but my 'vert is still cocooned in its car cover from the massive storm last night...

 

If it is glass, it's most likely tempered.
The problem with tempered glass is that it's next to impossible to "fix".
If someone knows of an economical way to do this, I'd like to know too!

I see them on sale on eBay pretty often.

Well, I've got another rear window if I really wanted to replace it (yay for parts cars). The problem is I think that would be a whooole lot of work to replace it- likely more trouble than simply leaving it be. It doesn't really cause any problems and I don't think it's going to get bigger- it just looks rather bad.
