Navigation Screen 16:9 - Scratched

[R1blade75]

I just recently purchased a used navigation screen (16:9) and I noticed the screen has one small scractch. Is there a way as far as using a product to get rid of the scratch? I read I could use toothpast or Displex, but I'm not sure if that would work.

What options do I have?

1) Fix it myself with toothpast / Displex?
2) Take it to a stereo shop...maybe they can fix it?
3) Replace the screen? How much would that cost?

Your input is greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

The Nav screen has an antireflective coating on it, it is this coating that will be scratched.

I don't think it's possible to repair the scratch in the coating, I've heard of people removing ALL the coating with some mild abrasive - like toothpaste maybe.

Realistically I'd either live with it or get another nav display unit and sell the one you have.

I see people selling screen protectors on ebay,

maybe you can remove all the coating and put a screen protector on...

A friend with a scratch on his BMW nav screen have just add a screen protector ON the scratch and now you can't see the scratch.

You can maybe try this solution : http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Scree...spagenameZWD2V

Don't use toothpaste its too abrasive!

I used Peek polish... others have used Displex with success, but as others have said, you're removing the anti-glare coating.
