Malcolm,

I just picked up a product from DAP called "Silicone-Be-Gone" at Home
Depot that according to the label: "softens old silicone and won't
harm most other surfaces or finishes. Indeed the back of the packahge
says "Ideal for use on fiberglass".

I have not tried it yet, but I bought it to get rid of some silicone
that accidentally transfered from my coveralls to the nose of my van
when I was installing my adventurewagen top.
