Get yourself some good rubberized undercoating, spray some in a plastic container then roll some onto a q-tip and apply it to the hard top. Should look perfect.

The Sharpie looks like crap when you do it, trust me i know. It has an odd tints and when the light hits it the scratches stand out more not less.

Here is a link to a post where i asked about it and there is a link on one of the pages for paint touch up pens made for the jeep tops.
