    Only one way I'm afraid

    Sanding sticks. Then polishing sticks. Then a dip in a thin acrylic floor polish!!

    Sounds like a bad idea but the only way. Either that or make a new rear window...

      As Ian, unless the glue has "fogged" the window in which case you'll need a new part.

      Cheers

        thanks lads all suggestions gratefully recieved, think i will just park it facing forwards as i will ruin my spray job on body. it is only a little bit and i only know its there,taking off the roof is a huge risk. but it wont put me off using ca in future using it a bit more carefully doh!

          Put a sticker on the window, saying something ("Baby on Board" or such like) to distract attention. Mini people often have babies!

            How did it happen? Anyway, clear parts are notorious for mistakes I occasionally make mistakes still.

                    paint out the back window with a big union jack that should sort it.
