This is left as a comment because I don't know for absolute sure, but honestly, I believe this is about your cheapest recourse. | |

Diamond is 10. Hardened steel is at 7 to 8. Iron is 4-5. Plastic? It doesn't say, but I'd put it somewhere between 2-2.5 (at a guess). | |

Hope it answers your question, tough I would understand if not. I cannot tell if the only thing that's scratched is the tint, but I would very much believe so, since I've never scratched glass with an ice scraper my entire life. | |
