Default Rear Plastic Screen

The middle third of my rear windscreen is not very clear & gives double vision. I've ordered some of that BMW cleaner but was thinking that I may need a new screen. Is there anything else out there that would get rid of the scratches ? If not, how much is a new screen likely to cost ?

I've attached a few photos but they're not that clear (just like the windscreen )

If the Beemmm stuff doesn't work then Hindsight platsic restorer will shift all of that and add suppleness to the screen as well. A towel/ mat/carpet in the roof well will reduce the chance of return / depth of scratch

It is, but you need to replace the entire hood, as the screens are different sizes. Budget around
