• and
• a distal portion of the tool including a curved end and a wedge, wherein the handle includes a planar surface extending from the grip portion to the curved end, the handle portion being tapered such that a width of the handle decreases in size from the grip portion to the distal portion,
• the curved end being configured to bend the distal portion back towards the handle such that a first portion of the curved end and a first portion of the wedge are covered by a bottom surface of the handle, the wedge being configured to interface with the window belt molding of the car door, the wedge having sides that project outward, wherein a first end of the wedge is positioned adjacent to the a second end of the first portion of the curved end and the first end of the wedge has a first width that is smaller than a width of the handle and a second end of the wedge has a second width that is greater than the width of the handle, the wedge gradually increasing in width from the first end of the wedge to the second end of the wedge such that at least a second portion of the wedge extends past the bottom surface of the handle covering the first portion of the wedge, wherein the sides of wedge are tapered, wherein the curved end is angled, the first width being smaller than the second width, wherein the sides of the first portion of the curved end are tapered edges.
