Thread: Windscreen rubber locking strip insertion tool - with roller

I've just had to insert some perspex windows in some control cabinets at work, my fingers still hurt.
You used to be able to buy a tool that spread the rubber and had a roller behind that pushed the locking strip into place. A quick Google doesn't come up with a supplier.

Plenty of tools without the roller but I didn't have any success looking for one with a roller.

I need work to buy the tool so I can borrow it to install new rubbers on a couple of Land Rovers

Purchased one of the tools this morning for work.
Just a moment...

Once you've worked out the best way to assemble it & tweaked the wires a bit, it was very easy to insert the locking strip.
Something that took 20-30 minutes (plus a lot of cursing) now takes less than one minute.

For some reason I'd been lumbered with the job of assembling window panels in control enclosures as everyone hated it. I've now trained someone and showed how easy it is so I can back out gracefully......

When I get round to doing the window seals in my shorty I can borrow the tool, although it's cheap enough, so I might just buy one.
