Dang air freshener

Hi there, I think some people have heard about my problem a couple of months ago. I am writing to get some advice from people on what the next step is I should take.

I purchased a liquid air freshner before Christmas and hanged it on my mirror. It was dangling down touching my chrono pack and thinking nothing of it. When I went to hoover my car and clean all the dust, I went to wipe the chrono pack and what I thought was liquid drops appeared to be small chips in the plastic on my chrono pack lens.

I have tried using scratch remover like the following:



It was great for some little scratched I had on my trim, but no luck with the chrono lens.




Any advice what to do next?

Cheers for your help!!

Weird... so the liquid air freshener actually dissolved part of the glass?

Yep, I couldn't believe it. It was like it had been chipped with millions of stoned being thrown at it. I told the Mini dealer and they want over £200 to fix it. The other option I was looking at was installing an OEM sat nav, but as I am looking at selling my car soon, I would prefer the cheapest fix
