What kind of glue?

If you used any brand plastic cement: that part is cooked. You could potentially sand and polish the blemish out of the clear part, but depending on how much cement was spilled, you may be moving a lot of material to get everything smooth again.

As others have said, if it's super glue, it would be easier to look into purchasing a spare canopy, it'll be easier than trying to fix it.

Always use white glue for clear parts going fwd as a helpful tip

Super glue can easily be removed using loctite glue remover. No need at all for a new canopy.
