Quoted from KSUWildcatFan:

ut it's got some lifting and some bubbling. Can it be reasonably fixed

Yes, use super glue. The 15 second liquid stuff. Then take some plastic wrap, push down the area you added glue to, hold it for a minute or two, then let it cure for 24 hours. The separation should be nearly invisible after that. The air gap between the paint and glass is what generally makes it stand out. But by adhering the paint with superglue, there is then no air gap.

After that, spray it with krylon triple thick to seal it.

You can spray over the windows. Just make sure they are clean and free of dust. Then spray very thickly over them. The triple thick will flow and even out. Don't be alarmed about cloudiness that might develop--that clears up when it cures.

Quoted from ccbiggsoo7:

how much super glue would you use on this, just a few drops? curious, because ive never seen a super glue that dries that clear before, most ive seen "white up"!

Flood the area to ensure it gets everywhere.

It dries clear in this case.

It looks white when edges are rough/textured--generally when you're gluing pieces of an object together.
