Are you frustrated with the Harbor Freight auto glass removal tool after trying it and failing? Here's how I used it to pull 2 pieces of glass effectively, without frustration and without breaking the glass. There are a couple of simple extra items you need to use with it, and couple things you must know about technique to make it work for you. It worked for me.

Have to say, while there pick up some solid MIG welding wire .23 or .25 tho (not flux core) works 100 times better than that cheap cable. Tho it will cut headliners easier than the cable if u dont hold it tight to the glass (dont ask how i know ) 😅 Like the Dawn Soap idea but the "Hot Wire" thing not sure as high heat in 1 spot is easy way to break the glass. & Junkyard wont let a torch in the place. Thought is get the same weld wire longer & battery drill to make the hole just file end rounded/flat drill thru from inside. I dont remember any issue getting the 0.23 solid MIG wire thru. We did 5 or 6 windshields (nephew and I) so far in last 15 yrs & have only broken the (cracked) windshields. Doing the broken one 1st gets practice then hit junkyard for a doner one (or test if working like u did on a teardown car.)

Yes for an older very hard seal but a car that is a few years old it's fine.
