Need Safety Advice - Scratched Screen

[Chip Chester]

I've never had it done (on a car), but what does a Safelight windshield repair look like, optically? I would think that would be better than abrading more glass away. The stress risers are going to be there to some extent whether or not the surrounding surface is smoothed. So any method will only improve cosmetics, not structural integrity. You just want to control the carnage if it goes. Any kids in the house? Do you watch real close?

The stick-on film would need to be stretched quite a bit for it to lay down smooth. Or just take your lumps and cut the overlaps away.
