Although I don't do many windshields, I haven't used a cold knife in over a decade. I see many places where you probably nicked the paint on the windshield opening.
@@atikovi1 There was no damage from my knife. The vehicle hit a pole, fence post or some other hard object that hit the hood and the roof. Also, this is at a body shop and is getting an extensive new paint job, so if I did nick the paint it’s not an issue. I ask these questions when I pull any glass at a body shop.
@@Lb562-e9h In some cases, but when the glass is collapsed on the dash it’s hard to get your blade down there without cutting up the top of your gloves or getting glass shards in them.
@@Gmane1709 The wire I was using was Squire by Equalizer. It is definitely less of a risk with the fiber line, which is what I prefer, but unfortunately there was just too much glass on the dash and it immediately cut my line which is why I switched to the wire and the other handles. If you do have to use wire make sure you’re using dash guards.
@ I saw I commented while you were switching handle and decided to engage with the account and say thank you for the pro6 set up video I had no idea how to set it up had to go an buy a 1tek cause I was so lost 🤣
@@Gmane1709 I was lost at first too. The instruction manual is a bit hard to follow so I changed the way I set it up. Spent about 25-30 min playing with it and about a week fine tuning it. I used to work for Safelite and used the 1Tek for 8 1/2 years. It’s a good tool and I would have loved to have one when I first left, but honest like the PRO6 better. It’s far simpler a tool and I can set all the same glass I did with the 1Tek. The smaller cup actually affords an easier set up for some vehicles.
We never , forget the old school . Big boss 🙌🤟🏻🤝👌… thank you for your videos and blessings there
@@professionalautoglass2042 Old school definitely comes in handy. 👍🏻

Also, those are nylon coated so even if they drag, they don’t do much.
Would extracting the bottom first help ?

@ that is true
I though it was recommend to only use piano wire with the handles, seem like less of a risk of damage with the fiber.
