Scratched Drivers Window

Well, trying to get out of the car quickly lead to flinging the seatbelt and it put a fairly deep scratch in the driver's door window.
Anyone dealt with this as well? - Not the stupidity but a window scratch?
I'm not sure how to approach this but I would love to make it right.
Thanks for any suggestions you migt have.

The scratch is about two inches long and runs horizontaly about smack dab in the center of the window.

Scratch, if it's on the lght side he may just be able to polish it out. I know my state is touchy about tinted fronts, so that may not be an option.

The scratches (More than one) were very deep. So I used the 20% black out tint. My state is the worst with tinted windows, so i mainly roll with the windows down. Even If i get a ticket my dads a police officer he just writes it off.
