    Replacing leaking side window, time required.

    Hi folks. As part of my ongoing conversion I am replacing both leaky side windows. I am going to use a cheesewire type tool to remove the old windows. This will leave a residue. How do I remove this residue and how long should it take? I am fed up of waiting for a fully dry day and want to crack on.
