3M makes a product just for removing silicone residue. Acetone doesn't really work very well. Even with the 3M product, getting all the residue off is a fastidious process but essential if you are going to get anything else to stick.
And as someone else said, don't even think of 5200. It won't stick to the window material.

The windows and hatches had been replaced by the previous owner. Hatches were done right, the side windows were bedded in silicone, not right. I had to re-bed one of them already but did not get all traces of the silicone off so it did not take. Need to do it again as soon as possible which will involve removing the window, scraping clean and then wiping the cabin side with acetone and re-bedding with 5200. The question is - there are no mechanical fastenings? Should I add screws every 4" or so or create some sort of method to press the windows in place while the 5200 sets? Anyone come up with the perfect jig to do this or is it better to add screws? Large custom bar clamps? Rex & Jennifer Delay www.
