I'm an idiot - or - are mk2 windshields available?

[jdbubb at verizon.net (Dan Bubb)]

I bought a new windshield from Safelite Auto Glass just a couple years ago for my 16V. ~$170 but that did not include installation.
Course we could do the installation on yours also.

Also, even though I know nothing about it, I wonder if there is someway to polish out the scratches.
