My 1998 Accord has a badly scratched windshield too. I think the glass on
the Accord is unusually soft and scratches easily. There are some glass
polishes that can fix it if it bothers you. Not all windshields are made
equal - this is the first time I've had this problem and have owned a
variety of cars. Yet another cost reduction that left the consumers picking
up the tab.
