Hi all, was careless and ended up putting a finger tip of glue on my installed windshield for a '36 Ford.  At this point in the build removing the window is not an option, I'd have too much disassembly.  Suggestions on how I might get most of this off leaving window in place?  It was coated in Future first, so perhaps my 99% rubbing alcohol will take both layers off??   Its the Testors orange bottle glue...

Thanks

It is very doable. Use progressively finer grits of sandpaper then finish with Future. To take your original coat of Future, use household ammonia.

It's possible but not certain that the Future protected the glass from the glue. Worth a try washing it in alcohol. 

Otherwise, you'll have to sand and polish out the glue booger. Done it many times, and yes it can be done on installed glass with care.
