I noticed before leaving for a trip that there are 3 "x" shaped scratches on my hood. They are very "perfect" in that it doesn't seem they were from vandalism. It looks like something placed on the hood. Two of them are in almost exactly the same location (opposite sides) about a foot below my windshield and about a foot in from the side of the car. The third is about 6" from one of the others.
I've had two things happen recently that may have caused this and I wonder if anyone has any feedback on this.
1) I had the autopilot camera replaced. I was told that the replacement included having to calibrate the camera. Could the calibration included placing a tool of some kind on my hood to aim the camera?
2) I had clearplex and tint installed (same day as the camera, actually!) Could the installer have placed a tool on the hood while doing this?
I'll try and post pictures tomorrow if I can get a good angle. I tried with my iphone and the flash wiped out the image. The scratches can be seen from a distance so it's pretty bad - IMO.
