The trailing edge of the drivers side door window had some very deep scratches in it; there were probably about 20 of them each up to 2.5" (6cm) long.
I found a company called glass polish who do commercial repairs to sheet glass windows etc. following damage\vandalism, they also offer a do it yourself kit to help car owners repair their car windows.
I bought one of their kits which consists of 2 grades of special sanding discs and a polishing compound plus pads to attach to your drill and a small water sprayer.
I have used the kit and it has made a great job in removing the scratches, which is all well and good as the early 62 door glass is 2cm longer than subsequent windows and therefore very hard to replace.

Originally focused on the restoration of my November 1961 built (1962 model year) Type 3 Karmann Ghia (343) I have now extended the blog to cover the ongoing ownership of my 1964 built (1965 model year) RHD type 3 Karmann Ghia (344) purchased in 1982.
