Navigation Screen Question

I have a monitor out of a 1999 Acura TL and was wanting to install it in my car. THe screen is a bit scratched up and I read on previous posts that you can use armor all to clean it up, I think mine is beyond that point. Too me it looks like there is just a cover that sits above the actual lcd screen can you go to acura and buy the cover? Or does anyone else sell them?

What appears to be scratches may in fact only extend to the glass surface below the antiglare and not into the glass itself. I have done the armor all thing and it works very well. Just try it and see what you have left for scratches. I would imagine anything left could have some sort of glass reconditioner applied to it. Maybe the stuff they fix scratched or cracked windshields with, but i dont know much about that so i am just guessing.

Either way, the armor all thing is not going to make the situation any worse and I believe will correct the situation. Before I get flamed I want to add that my screen looked all scratched up before I did it and NO the armor all does not fix scratches in glass. What it does do is remove all of the antiglare which has been scratched off in areas and makes the screen "appear" scratched.

I tried Armor All and it took out the anti-glare coating and it's 10x better than before. But It has some hairline scratches which is visible only when the navi is off. I'll try some scratch fix and I'll let you know how it works.

It's not a separate piece. It's only sold with the navigation screen.

if the screen is scratched there is really nothing you can do about it...just live with it or buy a new one
