Soft glass

I'd like to preface this by stating that overall I've been very pleased with my Fit and it has met the expectations I had for it considering its price point and intended market segment. I don't examine it looking for minute flaws or hold it to an unrealistic standard. It's good at what it was designed to do.

That aside, I have also been very disappointed to find that its window glass is exceptionally prone to scratching. The rear glass already had a scratch when I took delivery, that appears to have been caused by the wiper blade. We quickly added another attempting to (gently) remove some ice one morning with a plastic scraper. Several days ago I noted a third scratch, this time on the front passenger window, which inexplicably appeared without ever having used a scraper or any other hard object on it. These are each deep enough to feel with a fingernail.

Originally I had considered attempting to polish them out but will probably just accept them rather than risk further damage.

C'est la vie.

Yep, same thing happened on my 2012 Civic Hybrid where it's very prone to scratches.

Problem went away when I had the windshield replaced by SafeLite due to rock / crack damage.
