Credit Card Thickness

The future of rating the difficulty of a glass part's replacement is going to be measured by a credit card.

About .027". Our wire is .010" thick and can access just about any job without damage to the body paint or the glass. Using the Glass Bot™ is less expensive than current methods as it reduces the time to prepare the vehicle , reduces the required tools, tapes and time to protect the paint from damage and guarantees you will not damage the paint.

Take a look at this Mercedes E350 backglass. It's going to take some really careful work to not scratch this paint job.

How to tackle some of the trickiest newer vehicles

Bob Beranek states:

2008 Jeep Wrangler,

"The new Wrangler is a real bear," Beranek says. "The windshield doesn't have moldings on any of the four sides and [the glass] is very tight [to the vehicle body]." He suggests using a Fein power tool with an adjustable blade with depth stops. "The blade is adjustable to just the right depth, so if you pre-measure the distance from the edge of the glass to the inside where the urethane is and adjust the blade accordingly, you may be able to cut it out without damage," he says.

and... Jeep Liberty and Commander

These vehicles don't have a top molding, and the windshield is in close tolerance to the vehicle body, Beranek says. To avoid scratching the vehicle, have a partner help you on the install. Cut the sides and bottom of the windshield. Then, attach a suction cup to the glass and have your partner pull down on the cup while you pull your cold knife across the top, Beranek advises. Using this technique, "you can sometimes get enough clearance for the blade to avoid damaging the wall of the pinchweld," he says. "A power tool will scar it up."

Or you could own a Glass Bot™!
