Dwight,
    I encountered this problem when fixing a 42 gallon hex leaker (that I
still haven't used.) <g>
The best solution is a box of razor blades and a lot of elbow grease and
patience.  It's easy to remove all but the smallest amounts of silicon from
scratches with a lot of even pressure.  Use rubbing alcohol or other solvent
to prep the glass before recaulking.  Good luck.
