I have not done this in FL, but it worked in Missouri. Contact your insurance company. Many places such as oil change and repair shops can fix the scratch/crack easily (and insurance covered 100% in my two cases, since the repair prevents further cracking necessitating whole windshield replacement). Repair consists of drilling very small holes at the end the the scratch/crack to prevent further harm and then smoothing it out with some chemical.
