Who washes your car? That would be the first place to look, a dirty towel, wash mitt or chamois could be a culprit, although it would be hard to scratch the glass (exterior windows at least) where is the glass scratched? Drive through car wash (even brushelss ones) can get grit on the m that could perhaps mark the glass. I've had wiper arms leave marks when the rubber deteriorates, had sand pile on my wipers and valets use them to clear it and scratch the glass on other cars...
As for the navigation screen, no one has been in my car and I have not touched it EVER(except today after I saw the scratch). I do occasionally clean it with a very good lens cleaning cloth but I did that last a couple months ago. And I am positive there was no scratch yesterday.

I get my cars washed at a professional style hand wash cleaner. They clean the interior, then they hand wash the car using pressure washers, and finally take it into a room and polish the car. Everything is done by hand. I have been getting my cars washed there multiple times every week and have never had any problems with them.
And like you said, it is VERY hard to scratch a window, especially the exterior ones. I will try to get some pictures if possible.
