This is a long-shot, but if the scratches aren't too deep, some toothpaste might work.

I have not personally used it but this product is popular in the boating world where they have similar "windows" on boat canvas covers.

Similar from Mequires:

Also a 3M version:

This link should take you to the world of top replacement options if you are working with a Miata:

I've used Meguire's on Miata back windows with great success. You need #17 Clear Plastic Cleaner, followed by #10 Clear Plastic Polish.

I use Plexus plastic cleaner and polish. Works very well on window tint and I use it on the flexible rear window in my convertibles. www.plexusplasticcleaner.com

I used one of their kits to shine up some corian countertops. It worked great.

The Novus stuff is good. It's a "step" - type process too.

Meguiar's has a new product that eliminates the old "2 step". It's called PlastX Clear plastic cleaner and polish all in one.

I've used it on motorcycle windshields with great success.
