Don't know about harming the plastic, but acetone will debond super glue. Nail polish remover is usually mostly acetone.

Have stripped a group of AF plastic ribbed passenger cars. After stripping the cars ( Stripper did not seem to have an affect on the glue holding the window glass- used oven cleaner ), I used hot water to help release the windows. It seemed to help. Have used X type hobby blades to remove glued areas. Very hard at times. Question is has anyone done this and is there a remover of some type that would work on the glue. The main problem is glue that is up in the top flange that holds the window material, and the door window area is very tight to work in. A lot of these cars sombody had tried to repaint and gave up on, etc, and may or did have windows replaced and glued with super glue or you name it. Any ideas on a glue removers that will not hurt the plastic. Also will super glue remover damage the plastic. Also has anyone an idea for a SS pai! nt that looks good. Don't know yet they will be painted SS, but one of the repainted stripped cars had a paint that looked very good ( Never liked the mirror finish on the old AF and the new cars out there). ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
