Default Scratch in Platic Part. What are my options ?
Somehow the plastic cap on the pop up headlight washers got scratched. Don't know how it happened. Is there anything I can do with this other than replace them ?? Does anyone know if I have to replace the whole unit ??

Thanks.

Default How deep is the scratch? You can polish out "surface" ones with Meguir's Plastic Polish.
IUf it's gouged you obviously need to fill it. I don't know how to do that.

Look at which one you are getting, some bite more. Better be a light scratch..
