Repairing windshields.....

Unfortunately there is no effective repair for the glue on clear plastic - the 'melt' goes through to at least the center of the plastic.

Your best option is to try and order the piece individually and re-attempt the attachment with less glue or to use the testors precision glue, which dries really fast - I have found that it seems to bond firmly in seconds with parts that fit accurately.

Good luck.

You didn't mention what car, so don't know if this will work or not.  But with a flat windshield, or one with a single curvature, you can replace the kit windshield with clear styrene or acrylic, available at many hobby shops. I'd trace the existing windshield on a piece of paper, cut it out and use that for a pattern to lay out the sheet transparent plastic.

Because of the mess solvent glues make, I always glue around windows/windshields with either microglaze or epoxy.

Ya sorry I'm finishing up a Lexus lfa. I thought about replacing it with a piece of styrene but it is connected to all the windows so think my only option is to order the sprue tree 

I have had some luck sanding windshields out with successive finer grits and then using Novus plastic polishes until the glass is near perfect on a 1960 Vette.  Or you can paint bird plops on the glue mark and make super realistic weathering effects! LOL

Try contacting the manufacturer? I've had pretty good luck with getting replacement parts over the years that "dissapear" or otherwise get fouled up. It usually takes a while, though.

You can still seperate the windshield from the rest of the glass.You MUST be careful though.Then get in the habit if you have a good fit , of using white glue or TESTORS window maker to glue the clear parts in place.SORRY about the BOO-BOO.   TANKER-builder

As mark suggests, if you can sand the mark out (assuming not too deep to sand out). then use a polishing kit of increasing grades until you restore the clarity of the part.

start at 2500, 3000, 4000, 6000, 8000, 12000, then Novus 3, 2, 1. don't skip any step and sand always in the same direction.

if it is a revell kit you can just reorder the part no questions asked. Just go to Revell.com
