I had my RF 24-105L repaired by CPS in January. They said they had to replace and entire front lens module, so it sounds like they can't just replace the front element like they did on my EF 24-105L. Expect a cost around a few hundred dollars.

My scratch wasn't as bad as yours, but I did see it if the light hit it from some angles. This is one of those things where the scratch "shouldn't" have been visible, but under some conditions it was.

Doesn't matter: the only repair is to replace it, and it's not going to be cheap. I'd suggest that you try some of the other ideas in this thread and see if you can work around it.

Yes, they have to replace the entire from lens module - at least that is how they repaired my lens. I about went into shock when I received my first estimate from Canon. I sent the lens in because I had a CarePak+. I sent in all the paper work as instructed. A quick call to the CPS desk sorted the situation and my repair was free.

I am not sure I would have bothered with the repair if the lens was not covered by the CarePak. Mine was not as bad as the OPs scratch.
