I found a great tool for window work! It is as simple as can be, and easy to use. I used a large (3" dia.) pair of suction cups, with plumbers' strap for handles. With a little care, these items have helped me change 3 back windows, and two windshields. They take away alot of the worry about how to hold onto the glass as it is being removed, and then moved around after removal. I found these cups in the cheap roof-rack and other such-like items at my local Meijer's. But, there should be lots of other sources, too.... ....cheapie dent pullers spring to mind!
