Can these scratches and marks be removed?

That's what I thought. Plus I don't have 'free' windscreen replacement in my insurance policy. It's something like £150 for a new screen and £30 for a repair, if it has a small crack in it.

Windscreen glass replacement doesn't effect policy, usually.

It's how you tell them

It does not affect your no claims but it often does affect your premiums.

Difficult to see from here if they are marks on the surface or below, on they will come off, in they will not.

They look to me like the scratches you get when grit gets trapped between the seal and the window. I'm not convinced an insurance company wouldn't just see it as normal wear & tear.

Many years ago I had similar on my windscreen and it used to 'flare' in bright sunlight. The insurance company were happy to replace as it was restricting vision. This is more aesthetic than safety related, so I doubt they'd entertain its replacement.

Just keep it open and then you won't see it!
