We recently purchased one for our shop, and I've had nothing but good results from this product. I was also worried about the side glass being the support system, but only once has been an issue when a customer's door glass was "iffy". I just used the passenger door instead, but if need be, and the extra labor isn't an issue, you could block up the door glass to keep it from slipping. So far, after about 30 installs, no complaints. Really impressed with this.
Hi Decoded - So glad you love the tool! Regarding the suction loss: you most likely need to lubricate the seal on the plunger, replace the plunger and/or replace the suction cup. Visit www.aegistools.com for replacement parts or you can always contact us directly and we can help you.
This is the worst setting tool I have ever used. I have set thousands of windshields using various tools like the lil buddy and offerings from equalizer but this is by far the dumbest tool created. It does not seem designed for mobile use, does not work well on hidden pinch welds, and requires a dry set for most vehicles to get the correct measurements. Whoever designed this tool hated technicians and has no idea how the modern vehicle works. If your company forces you to use this tool (like mine is currently), find a new company. Do yourself, your business, and your spine a favor and steer clear of this awful contraption. Also why is the case so bulky and heavy?
