Glass run installation tool

A glass run installation tool for attaching a glass run to a door frame, the door frame including a recess, the installation tool comprising:

• a first arm;
• at least one lower roller rotatingly coupled to the first arm;
• a second arm that is pivotally coupled to the first arm to move between a clamped position and an unclamped position;
• an upper roller rotatingly coupled to the second arm, the upper roller and the at least one lower roller clamping the glass run and door frame together to push the glass run into the recess when the second arm is in the clamped position;
• and
• a retaining member that retains the second arm in the clamped position, the upper and lower rollers operable to roll along a longitudinal axis of the glass run and push the glass run into the recess while rolling along the longitudinal axis and while the second arm is retained in the clamped position.

A glass run installation tool for attaching a glass run to a door header, the door header including an elongate recess and a projection, the installation tool comprising:

• a handle having a bottom end and a top end;
• a first arm that is fixed to the top end of the handle, the first arm including a first portion and a second portion;
• a first lower roller rotatingly coupled to the first portion of the first arm, the first lower roller rotatable about a first axis;
• a second lower roller rotatingly coupled to the first portion of the first arm, the second lower roller rotatable about a second axis that is disposed at a fixed acute angle relative to the first axis;
• a second arm with a first portion and a second portion, the second portion of the second arm being pivotally attached to the second portion of the first arm, the second arm including a ramp surface;
• an upper roller that is rotatingly coupled to the first portion of the second arm, the upper roller including a groove that receives the projection of the door header;
• a lever that is rotatingly coupled to the bottom end of the handle, the lever including a retainer roller that rolls along the ramp surface to move the second arm from an unclamped position to a clamped position, the first and second lower rollers and the upper roller clamping the glass run and door header together and pushing the glass run into the recess of the door header when the second arm is in the clamped position;
• and
• a biasing member that biases the second arm toward the unclamped position.
