First question is what kind of glue were you using?

Re: I was wondering.........
if the window isn't already put in the body shell, it is easy to polish it like you would the body. start with a grit like 2500 and sand the glued up area and then polish it with polishing compound like scratch-x. if you work hard, it will eventually be clear and shiny and like new. it takes some elbow grease, though lolz! if it is already in the body, you can do it but it is more tricky but you can be trickier and succede!
freakray, why did you quote me in your signature? you make me very sad. |

Just polish it: I had a bit of extra thin cement (Tamy) on my 250california windshield: now it's invisible. Good luck

Re: I was wondering.........
I usually rub the glue off with a little paint thinner, and then polish off the window.

Re: I was wondering.........
If you cannot clean the glue off the windshield well enough, you can just use the kit windows as templates to cut some new windows out of acetate sheet, which will likely look better if you do it right because they are a much more scale width (A real car window should be something like 0.015" thick, about 1/4 of a millimeter: The glass in models would be about an inch thick on a real car).
