semblance of clarity? >>

I would suggest that you get the vinyl window polishing kit from Eastwood.
Their ad says, "This unique liquid polish really removes haziness, halos,
discoloration from UV damage and hairline scratches from plastic rear windows
on convertibles. Contains no fillers or cover-ups that cause yellowing. The 8
oz. bottle of concentrated formula contains sufficient polish to do several
jobs. Use with a natural wool buffing pad on your drill, polisher or power
buffer at 2,400 to 3,500 rpm."
It sells for $20, which is a lot less than having a top shop replace the
window, which is always another option. No financial interest in Eastwood,
other than they are a great company with great products. Go to
www.eastwoodco.com and choose the speed best for your Internet connection.
Search for "window" to find the kit. If you live in the Philadelphia area,
Eastwood has an outlet store with GREAT bargains in Malvern on Route 30, just
east of Route 202. Been there, spent lots.
Funny how the same question came up on both lists the same day.
