now i'm not sure i want to take it off cause it's glued pretty good and i don't wanna break it
So is there any problem wit putting it in the CFC wit the body will the CFC make it come out easier
Or should i try pryin the windshield and headlights off??

Thanks
After actually reading the whole question, I realised you were wanting to strip the paint too.....
The only CFC I know of is the propellant gas, so I would assume you are referring to CSC, which is Castrol Super Clean.

I have left clear parts in CSC without a problem, I dropped a whole body in CSC with windows and all glued in place, when I came back in a couple of days, all the paint was stripped, including the paint around the windows for the trim, and the CSC had dissolved the glue, but not harmed the clear parts at all.
That was an R-M kit too.....

If you are worried about the CSC damaging the clear parts, get a piece of scrap from the parts tree and put that in the CSC to see how it reacts, it probably won't though.
