Abstract: For replacement of automotive windshields by aftermarket installers, two mirror image grips have a curved tubular handle which is welded to a sheet metal base with two legs which are at an obtuse angle to one another. The curved handle allows smooth repositioning of an installer's hands as the large windshield is shifted into position on the automobile, the obtuse angle base provides sufficient clearance for the full range of hand positions. Each leg of the sheet metal base is positioned to abut against an installer's hand during different stages of windshield lifting, i.e. when the windshield is vertical, and when it is inverted and horizontal. The grips are used to lift and position a windshield with a bead of urethane thereon into the pinch weld of the automobile.
