The Wielander + Schill Power Slide A precisely engineered accessory specifically developed to support the more efficient and safer operation of windshield removal systems (such as the Roll Out series). This device plays a key role in maintaining the optimal tension of the cutting wire, thereby minimizing the risk of wire breakage during workflows.
The Power Slide is not just a tension control element; it also serves a critical safety function, especially when the suction cups need to be repositioned during work. The precise mechanics ensure that the wire always remains at the ideal tension, which is essential for clean and fast cutting, as well as for increasing the tool's lifespan.
This product is designed for service workshops and glass repair specialists and can be perfectly integrated into professional windshield removal procedures.
In designing the Power Slide, reliability and user-friendly operation were paramount. The product serves a dual purpose:
Wire Tension Optimization: The Power Slide actively regulates the tension of the cutting wire. This function drastically reduces the chance of wire breakage caused by sudden tension spikes, saving time and material costs in the workshop.
Safety Function: The device ensures stability even if the suction cups temporarily need to be moved during the work process. This safety buffer prevents accidental shifting or damage to the wire, thereby increasing operator safety and workflow control.
Compact Design: Despite its small dimensions, it features a robust design that guarantees a long service life, even under intensive use.
The Power Slide (Part No: 848066) is manufactured according to Wielander + Schill quality standards, combining durable metal and lightweight yet resistant plastic (kunststoff) materials.

The Power Slide belongs to the Service & Workshop within the category, and within that also the Glass Repair and Windshield Removal Systems section. It is specifically recommended for use as an accessory for the following systems:
Roll Out 2000 Side Molding Removal System
Compatible with other wire-based removal tools where wire tension regulation is critical.
The effectiveness of the Power Slide can be further enhanced by the matching suction cup winches, which are available in different configurations for the various Roll Out systems (Roll Out 2004, Roll Out 2020 CF).
| Accessory Part Number | Description | Compatibility |
|---|---|---|
| 848005 | Single drum winch with 120 mm diameter suction cups. | Roll Out 2004 |
| 848040 | Single drum winch with 150 mm diameter suction cups. | Roll Out 2004 |
| 848039 | Double drum winch with 120 mm diameter suction cups. | Roll Out 2004 |
| 848041 | Double drum winch with 150 mm diameter suction cups. | Roll Out 2004 |
| 848088 | Double drum winch with „Constant Friction” function, for 120 mm and 150 mm diameter suction cups. | Roll Out 2020 CF |
These winches ensure the necessary grip and wire movement, while the Power Slide guarantees continuously optimal tension throughout the entire cutting process. The compact dimensions of the Power Slide (76.5 x 45 x 37.3 mm) and its extremely low weight (only 36 grams) ensure that it does not unnecessarily load the windshield frame or the suction cups, while providing maximum functionality.
Using the Power Slide, the windshield removal process becomes more professional, faster, and safer, minimizing the risk of injury for both the vehicle and the operating personnel. This accessory is an essential tool for precise automotive repairs.
