That should be the case
am unsure of where to find it, and I will buy again in the future
After purchasing this item, I was wondering if I could remove the windshield on my Jeep Wrangler, but I either did not have the strength or did not know how. Although I'm not saying that it can't do the job, I had trouble figuring out how to use it. I watch videos even after I have watched them. Those people make it look like it would be easy, though
This blade is part number 87902

Do not hesitate to read my review if you don't want any problems. This tool works perfectly but there are some reviews that complain about the blade not being sharp or breaking, here are a couple tips Ensure you have removed the rubber molding from the windshield before cutting the silicon, spreading water around the windshield then cutting the silicon will not require much movement either.
a high rating because it provided me with a better understanding of how Safelite and the local body shops earn a living. Initially, the tool worked correctly, and then it stopped working. There was a tendency for both blades to bend, so I went through both. Due to this, the tool loses grip on the cut as it is being I was able to remove the back slider window from my truck using this tool when it worked, but I couldn't remove it if I tried it My suspicions are that there is a mistake Here are the blades that I selected. A knowledgeable person would have been able to do it but that was not the case for Even though YouTube is great, it's still not as good as being there in person. So it's a good thing I got carbide blades that won't bend if I were to do it again. The cords should be shortened so the urethane gasket seal will be broken but won't hang up against the frame or any of the metal tabs that hold them in place. The likelihood is that I would not do this again is not high. I had already planned to do this, and I ended up doing it anyway This tool was used in combination with gloves, a hammer, and a lot of force to remove a broken slider. Having to do that in front of my friends was appalling, and I never want to repeat it. It's your call.
My rear window of a 1988 Jeep Comanche Chief was covered in gobs of sealant, which I tried to dig away with everything I had. A lot of people had given up on me. Basically, this tool (with a lot of muscle behind it) sliced through the window and allowed the glass to be removed. We were impressed with how thick and tough this sealant was. The blade broke halfway through the job, but luckily there was a spare that allowed the job to be finished. We now have to clean up.
Keeping the car in a heated garage (55 degrees) has helped to extend the life of the original windshield. We pulled the shorter blade from the top corner and cleaned out the top corner of the rectangle. Refused to move, but did so nonetheless. When I got about 10 inches down the driver side, I could tell the blade had bent away from me. The longer blade probably would have bent even sooner since it would have been tougher to snap. Perhaps I will try the wire. I cut a blade for my multitool and I used it on the bottom of the windshield with ease, but I couldn't get it under the top or sides of the windshield.
Be careful, sharpen the blade, and make sure you do it. As a result, the product delivers what it promises. On the other hand, if you can sharpen the blades on a grinding wheel, the effect will be better and they will last longer. As it turns out, it works very well. A disadvantage of the blades is that they are not long enough. This means it couldn't reach all the way through my front windshield on the Dakota. The wire ended up being the only thing we could use. It also requires some muscle, but if you don't use caution, the blade will also pull In order to avoid damage to the glass, aim the blade with both hands. If you aim the blade with your arms, make sure you stay clear of the I think that overall, for what it is supposed to do, it does a pretty good job. Yet using such a tool or a tool like it requires a certain amount of If this is the first time you are doing this, don't use something you will need very much. Practice it first.
The odds were stacked against me so I quickly removed the windshield and rear glass. As a rookie, I had no idea what I was doing in the cold (mid-fifties), the silicone was aging and hard, and I was wearing a rather thick rubber jacket. To remove exposed silicone, I used a single blade razor. After that, I used this tool to do my work. I am amazed at how well it worked. After removing the windshield and 85% of the rear window I realized I needed to switch to the (included) second blade to finish the job. Over the knockoff at Harbor Freight for the same price, I would highly recommend this tool.
Thanks to someone else's comment, I was able to purchase. When I used this tool to remove the front rubber weather strip on a 1994 Jeep Wrangler, the strips popped off in seconds. Once the seal around the windshield was cut, the machine was able to cut through the polyurethane. Don't rush the process. You need to run multiple times. The blade will eventually pass through the material. This tool works great for getting into tight spaces and slicing, as well as digging out an old weatherstrip that couldn't be accessed otherwise. Tool held up under some very serious abuse, as well.
