Suction Cup Lifter for Windshield Options

[bbrock]

After a year of waiting, I finally have a windshield ready for me to pick up only about 100 miles away. I will swing by Harbor Freight and pick up some suction cup lifters for the install. Call me paranoid, but they have a variety of choices and I want to make sure I get some that work. None are expensive which increases my paranoia. which ones have a proven success record?

Brent, I bought the red ones from HF. They worked fine, you need to press them pretty firm on glass as you apply the suction so have some foam under the it. Mark

Did you get the single cup version or dual cup? The dual cup seems like overkill but what do I know?

And thanks all for the great tips. I've actually installed glass in 914s a couple times, but never on a car I was concerned about getting it perfect and those suction cups weren't readily available to non-professionals at the time. In fact, the reason my car is missing a windshield is because I removed it to replace a cracked glass on another one I was driving at the time.
