Working with vehicle glass requires precision, strength, and the right equipment. Automotive glazing is often more challenging than standard glazing because of curved windscreens, tight window spaces, and the need for absolute safety. Using the correct tools not only makes the job easier but also ensures a secure, professional finish every time.
At GGR Glass, we supply specialist glazing tools trusted by professionals across the UK. Here are the top five tools we recommend for anyone involved in vehicle glass fitting or repair.
Curved 9” Suction Cup
The Curved 9” Suction Cup is one of the most versatile tools for handling automotive glass. Its curved design makes it ideal for lifting and fitting windscreens, which rarely sit completely flat. Capable of lifting up to 68kg, it provides a secure grip on non-porous, curved surfaces. Lightweight, reliable, and easy to use, this suction cup is essential for safe glass handling in the motor industry.
Powr-Grip Valve Grinder
Powr-Grip Valve Grinder tools are designed for precision and control when working with vehicle glass. Built with professional-grade suction technology, they provide a firm hold during installation or repair tasks, reducing the risk of slipping or breakage. A reliable choice for workshops and mobile repair services.
Glazing Shovel
The Glazing Shovel is a simple but highly effective tool. Solid, shock-proof, and easy to handle, it allows you to lever glass into position without damaging the pane or frame. This tool is especially useful for automotive glazing when manoeuvring large windscreens or side windows into place. Affordable, durable, and indispensable in any glazier’s kit.
High Heat D-Cup Lifter (34kg)
When working in demanding environments, you need a tool that won’t let you down. The High Heat D-Cup Lifter (34kg) is designed to withstand high temperatures without losing suction. It can lift up to 34kg, making it perfect for handling heated windscreens and other vehicle glass where heat resistance is essential. Strong, safe, and built for tough conditions.
Deglazing Tool
Removing old windscreens or side windows requires a sharp, reliable tool. Our Deglazing Tools are designed to slice through the toughest sealants with ease. Featuring razor-sharp blades and a non-slip handle, they allow quick and efficient window removal, saving time and reducing strain for the user.
Why These Tools Are Essential
Automotive glazing involves curved glass, tight spaces, and precision fitting, challenges that standard tools can’t always meet. Using specialist vehicle glass repair equipment ensures safer handling, faster installation, and a longer-lasting finish.
