I think it is a common thing.  I have gently removed the translite from a few glasses and given the glass a good clean and let it dry completely before putting the translite back.  Might be worth giving the front of the translite a wipe down as well.

All my machines had that problem before I restored them.
Clean the glass with Windex, and let it dry completely.
Clean the Translight with water and a drop of dishwashing detergent dissolved in it. Allow to dry completely then re-assemble.

Anytime i have cleaned a translite and glass, used nifty on the glass (depending on the grime) and then mr Sheen on both the glass and translite. The with an fresh clean cloth (Flannel or similar) hand buff off any residue, Never had a problem being able to put back together immediately using this process.

Mines not a factory one but a repo from a Melb dealer so maybe I should check with them first just in case but thanks for the ideas.

Thats why I'd go for the more gentle, drop of soap in bucket of water technique, you never know what some of those sprays could do to artwork
