you could probably make your window look better, i wouldn't expect results as good as his. you have a tempered back glass. windshields are laminated, annealed glass. wiper marks are different than the scratches you normaly see on back windows. dennis

mcb metal sorry I do not have any extra corner peices.I decided to call the company that does this procedure,and they claim that the glass could be fixed without any warpage.Considering the repair area is small it should be an easy fix.My only problem would be shipping since I live in Canada and they are in California.I wish I would of found them before because then I would of sent them all my original glass so that shipping would have been worth the expense.

Absolutely correct about laminated and tempered. However, tempered is 5X stronger than laminated. You actually have to be way more careful with windshields than you do with side and rear glass. Especially if the windshield has a bullseye or chip. That becomes your achilles heel, the spot where it wants to crack. I wont even touch a windshield with a bullseye in it for that reason. I'll resurface side and rear tempered all day long! Hope that makes sense.
I tried to make the video better by making it HD. You just have to make sure you click the HD button. Its bigger and clearer that way. Oh, and also, left click and "watch on youtube".
Hope that helps.
