The car windshield is one of the most important protective components on a car. A windshield should be replaced if it has become scratches, cracked or chipped. Switching your windshield is not an easy task; however, using the specific tools designed especially for working on your windshield---such as suction cups, windshield blades and a windshield sealant cutter---will help simplify the process.
Suction Cup Windshield Holder
Windshield suction cups are used to hold the glass when youre removing it. A suction cup is a instrument made out of ruber that produces a vacuum on one side and has a handle on the other. Typically two or more suction cups are needed when youre removing a windshield. (see reference 2)
Windshield Knife
A windshield knife is used to cut through glass. It has a tempered steel blade on one side and a thick handle on the opposite side and is designed to cut through glass with ease. (see reference 1)
Windshield Sealant Cutter
A windshield sealant cutter is a hand-held tool used to remove sealant that exists around the cars windshield. This tool requires a pneumatic air compressor in order to be operated. It uses a thick specially designed hard steel blade and is the quickest and most efficient way to cut through windshield sealant. (see reference 2)
