is a citigo front wIndshield more vulnerable to scratching than other cars? after 36000 km it looks more used and worn than our fabia with 185,000 km.

what are your experiences?

Unlikely its due to high speeds, could it be the screen is more upright and takes direct hits rather than glancing blows? I would have thought tempered glass is equally hard - the heat treatment is the same for all, and glass from every batch is tested to destruction for the EN mark. 

It is scratches both from whipers and som i cant tell where is from...

They drive the same routes. Never had a windsheild like this.

I would think EN marks (et al.) are entirely about safety (in various ways) and not about some other features of glass quality, which varies between manufacturers and glass grades. Windscreen glass is not all exactly the same.

 

I have a couple of slightly scuffed-looking areas on my windscreen and a side window (car has done 2K miles) which, luckily, can only be seen if the light falls just right on the surface. I think it is from cleaning muck off and definitely not from road grit, stones etc. No big deal. I have been cleaning glass on cars for 50+ years  (yes, dad's car too!) and not seen this happen on what must be about 50-odd cars.  Or maybe never noticed!   I'm pretty sure some windscreens have slighter softer surfaces than others, and it's not impossible to believe that 'slightly softer' might equate to 'slightly less brittle', and with thinner, lighter modern glass this may be entirely deliberate as a 'mix' for glass.

 

You can buy some extremely fine grade 'jeweler's rouge' to polish most kind of glass if the scratches are just microscopic (i.e. not 'gouges' from say a T. Rex claw)

 

Have just checke the side Windows.. Also more worn than the fabia. 

I AM beginning to think thst the citigos windows just Are cheaper and more vulnerable
