I figure this is a war I’m not going to win and the next one might be even worse. I took this and ran with it. And by running with it, I mean spend half an hour last night in -5 degree windchill trying to stuff it into a Dodge Caravan. ---

I would just take that scratched up one, and wet sand it out, but dont get into the fibers or your mess up the weave. then reclear it. As long as the epoxy is thick enough, and judging by the pics it is plenty thick enough, you can we sand the scratch down and respray the surface. just make sure to sand out far enough with a block to not creat too low of a spot or the new clear will look like a dent. ---

Sucks Vlad… I think you did the right thing in just rolling with it despite the damage. Hope you can get it looking how you want though. I’d post up your experience on [CR.net](http://CR.net) and [miata.net](http://miata.net) forums to warn others though if you haven’t done this already… ---

I’d post up your experience on [CR.net](http://CR.net) and [miata.net](http://miata.net) forums to warn others though if you haven’t done this already… I’d rather not start the fuss about it, as they did have outstanding customer service and frankly it was a bargain at GB price. It’s just my expectations of quality were different than theirs in their quality control and I’ll keep that in mind in the future in doing business with them.
