So a I am just a little mad considering my tint is only a week old and has a 4" scratch through one of the rear doors and the tailgate has several peck mark scratches. Ok, the tail gate might've hit a shelf I was transporting yesterday but the window the other window is scratched for no f-ing reason! I've rolled down the windows a few times, but nothing has hit it... :evil: :evil: :evil:

So, how can I repair this visually? The tint is 15% so near black. I was thinking about using a sharpie to fill in the scratch, but is there a proven method to fixing up this blemish?

Only good method is to remove the tint.
I keep a couple of old towels in the car when transporting items, wrap them around the edges of objects pressing on the glass.

You could try using some tint spray, mask up the area and do a couple of light sprays.

See thats the thing, there hasn't been a single sharp object near the glass. Even the shelf was surrounded by packing foam sheets. The only thing I can think of is that something inside the door scratched the film when I rolled the window down. Having just purchased the tint ($220) I don't want to have to get the window redone.

Takes a fair amount of impact to cause a scratch on a side window tint.

If it has scratched the tint, it's likely you've scratched the glass too.
