This windshield removal tool makes glass removal faster, safer, and cleaner for professional auto glass technicians and body shops. With Invisible Heat®, you can heat through urethane in tight corners and deep recesses without damaging paint, encapsulants, or trim.
Why Use Induction Heating for Auto Glass Removal
Traditional tools like wire knives or windshield hot knives are time-consuming and carry the risk of cutting interior trim, overheating paint, and breaking hardware. Induction heating replaces those with a controlled, flameless magnetic field that directly targets the urethane bead which avoids hardware damage.
Because heat is generated within the vehicle’s pinch weld and frit, the adhesive softens evenly, allowing you to remove windshields in under 12 minutes. This precise, heated windshield removal method protects the encapsulant, blackout masking, and surrounding components eliminating costly rework.
Recommended Tools for Windshield and Auto Glass Removal
For windshield and other automotive glass removal applications, use the Inductor® Pro-Max, Max, or Glass Blaster® attachments:
- U-311 Glass Blaster® Attachment: Converts your Pro-Max or Max unit into a windshield removal machine.
- Non-metallic Protective Tape: Prevents scratching and heat transfer to glass surfaces.
- Cold Shield Thermal Gel: Helps protect paint and encapsulant during extended heating.
Together, these accessories form a handheld induction heating tool ideal for all auto glass removal tasks, no wires, no consumables, and no open flames.
Step-by-Step: How to Remove a Windshield Using the Glass Blaster®
- Locate the urethane bead with the L-wedge from inside the car.
- Mark and Position the L-wedge on the outer glass edge.
- Apply water or Cold Shield Gel to protect the paint surface.
- Insert the L-wedge between the glass and the vehicle body; begin with a gentle outward pressure.
- Activate the Glass Blaster® in smooth, overlapping motions around the window until the urethane fully releases.
This automotive glass removal tool removes bonded windshields quickly and safely, without the mess or risk of traditional blades.
