cool, may have seen a replacement for the fiesta, but it has tints, so not keen on them, but if they can be removed then worth going to look at.........

use ablade to peel them off, and then wire wool with hot water and fairy to get residue of the glass (dont worry you wont scratch the glass)

Best way to remove the sticky residue is to use auto-glym tar spot remover.
