  • Patent number: 4694576
    Abstract: A hand held tool for removing excess urethane sealant from the outer edges of an automotive windshield to facilitate simple replacement of the windshield. The tool generally has a handle, an elongated member with a longitudinal bore partially extending therethrough, and a removable and replaceable blade. The cutting portion of the blade is substantially U-shaped in cross-section with the exposed edges tapered and sharpened. The shape of the blade and its sharpened edges facilitate the cutting and removal of a channel within the urethane sealant in order to allow placement of a strip of plastic moulding which retains the windshield in place.
