Default Wiper scratched windshield

I noticed a scratch on my windshield that runs along the path of the windshield wiper on the driver side. The scratch is not too deep but it's noticeable nonetheless. Is there anything i can do about it other than replacing the whole windshield?

Default I have the same scratch ... (more)

before the scratch I had the blades replaced cause they were making noise.

They still make noise and the new blades made the scratch.

they proceeded to say warranty wouldnt cover scratch even though i clearly kept up my end and had them replaced before they went bad.

Default The Gen2 A4 glass is very soft compared to the soft Gen1 glass......

Thus it scratches very easily and will develop wiper haze over time. It's very bad if you live in cold country with all the anti-skid, salt, etc. that is constantly flung on the windshield. The glass is way too soft compared to the other cars in my family's stable!
