How to replace a window in your car or truck the right way!
What happens here
Take the Equalizer tool, which is a specialized powered reciprocating cutting tool equipped with a long, flat blade. Insert the blade carefully between the old windshield and the vehicle's frame. Systematically cut through the existing urethane adhesive around the entire perimeter of the windshield from the inside of the truck. The soapy water mixture applied previously will help the blade glide smoothly through the adhesive.
Goal: Separate the old windshield from the vehicle's frame.
