Withoutr stating the bleeding obvious, it does rather depend on what glue it is!
If it's a black PU stuff or if it's siliconyou may find that it peels off a bit at a time of he gel coat.
If it's araldite plastic specific ar evostick you might have a biggerr job on youy hands
Any pictures or more clues?

Not sure you car, but my original areoscreen was araldited to the alui, and once i bought a "proper" screen this glue would have looked awfull

i took most off with a stanley blade, and soaked the rest off using , cellulose thinners. as I did not want to ruin the alui

it seemed to work !

It is not black, it is a cream colour, I suppoce with silicon base. I will try post some pics when I get the chance.
I will try peel it with something but I was aiming to a product to do most of the job.

I got a used westfield scuttle that had loads of silicon on it and used screwfix silicon remover. Worked realy well and did not affect the gel coat

Don't know, but there is a (new) Screwfix trade counter in Huddersfield if it helps.
