AO42-SL is a protective sleeve designed for use in conjunction with the AO42 “Long Reach Tool” for across the car openings but may be used with any tool to protect the glass. The tool sleeve eliminates direct contact between the metal tool and the window glass. This handy little accessory is beneficial in protecting the edge of the window glass from scratches that may occur when using an across the car type of tool. It will also protect the edge of the glass, so that shattering or splintering will not occur, when using an across the car tool in cold or hot weather, which may make the window more brittle than normal. To use this tool, simply insert a wedge into the upper portion of the rear edge of the passenger window, spreading the window outward approximately 1/4”. Protect the edge of the window glass by inserting the AO42-SL “Long Reach Tool Sleeve” between the edge of the window glass and the weatherstripping, leaving the flaps of the sleeve protruding from the opening. Separate and fold the flaps of the sleeve back around the edge of the window and the weatherstripping to create an opening for the AO42 tool. Carefully feed the AO42 “Long Reach Tool” through the AO42-SL “Tool Sleeve” and into the vehicle. NOTE: You may want to secure the flap of the sleeve with one hand while feeding the tool into the vehicle, so as not to let the sleeve slip inside the vehicle.
GENERAL APPLICATIONS : This accessory works with most of our wire tools.
