This is so the job is done neatly without the glue becoming visible from the outside of the assembled model. Testor's liquid cement must go on bare/unpainted plastic. It will summarily eat paint and dissolve it. The window frames will be painted around the edges on both the inside and outside so paint-eating liquid cement is not feasible here. Gorilla Glue is thick and goopy. It doesn't eat paint but it hard to work with. I don't want glue showing anywhere on the window glass or body. Is there a good video tutorial on this?
Ideally, I'd like a thin liquid adhesive that will stick to paint without harming the paint. One that can be neatly applied along edges of window panes without running or smearing.
Actually, I'm building the AMT Kenworth W-925 truck tractor kit. There are individual door windows, rear window and windshield window panes for the cab. These windows fit right against the window posts so there is not much surface overlap between the window glass and the window frame. Any adhesives used must not attack paint or clear plastic to damage it. They must not dissolve paint. They must be able to be appied very neatly without showing on clear plastic.
In this video, AUTOMOBILE window glass fits up under the body top in the form of a canopy so there is a lot of hidden overlapping surface to glue the window glass work inside the body.

Also, there a better adhesive than Krazy Glue, Testors Liquid Cement or Gorilla Glue for general plastic model assembly? I want a strong, non-goopy and neatly-applied adhesive that doesn't harden too fast so parts can be perfectly positioned into place. Of course, it must adhere well to painted surfces and NOT DAMAGE PAINT.
