Depends on how deep of a scratch, and if your sunroof is reflective glass, and inside or outside? IF you have a gouge, then you are s.o.l. If it is reflective,(which I think it should be), anything on the inside, your s.o.l. There are some glass buffing compounds, but most are a pain and don't remove anything that is deep. Check with a good reputable glass shop, or detail shop, and they can look at it and advise. Sorry, not much help, but there is not much you can do short of replacement.

Thanks guys for the tips
I was looking at the scratch and its more like a scuff I think I can buff it out, its really small like an inch long.

Eastwood has kits for that too! Word of caution dont let the glass get too hot when buffing as it will shatter - trust me.
