Lisle Windshield Locking Strip Tool 47000 — 90° Swivel, Double-Ended Tips for Glass Seals

The Lisle 47000 is a handheld windshield locking-strip tool with a 90° swiveling, double-ended tip designed to feed and remove rubber locking strips from glass seals without hacking the frame.

Designed for automotive glass technicians and DIYers, the Lisle 47000 simplifies working around tight corners and recessed channels by offering a pivoting tip that turns 90 degrees in either direction. Two double-ended tips provide multiple eyelet sizes so you can match the tool to most rubber locking-strip profiles, allowing controlled removal or installation without stressing the glass or vehicle finish. The tool ships in a skin-pack and is built for universal fit with a compact, durable profile.

How does the swiveling tip make strip removal easier?

The tip pivots a full 90 degrees left or right so you can approach the locking strip from the optimal angle, even in confined or awkward spots. That articulation reduces the need to force the tool or reposition the glass, lowering the chance of scratches or accidental damage.

• 90° swivel in either direction for flexible access
• Eyelet opening accepts the locking strip for steady control
• Double-ended tips offer two profile sizes for better fit
• Compact shape reaches recessed channels without removing trim

Which locking strips and vehicles will this tool work with?

Lisle designed the 47000 as a universal-fit helper for most common automotive rubber locking strips on windshields, back glass, and side glass. While it covers many OEM and aftermarket profiles, selecting the tip opening that most closely matches the strip yields the best control and results.

• Two double-ended tips to match varied locking-strip sizes
