The blade includes a base portion which is mounted in the handle to extend outwardly therefrom and a cutting portion which is formed into an inverted U-shaped terminal end which is used to cut the adhesive or bonding material between the windshield and the molding by sliding the U-shaped terminal end about the perimeter of the windshield, with the windshield edge being positioned and sliding within the U-shaped portion of the blade.
