Yellotools BodyGuard Knife

It works pretty good. We use it on an almost daily basis. The knife comes with a small guard that has a teflon type tape on it. The tape definitely helps the knife slide better. You have to keep the knife moving in order for it not to stick to the vinyl.
We also have this top sheet cutter from olfa (http://www.amazon.com/Sheet-Liner-C...=1376876069&sr=1-1-catcorr&keywords=olfa+ts-1). It works surprisingly well as long as you keep the blade fresh. It can take some effort cutting thought thicker backing paper. It takes some practice to get the hang of.

I got one a month and a half or so ago for doing two of these jobs. The windows were 13' long and I was dreading installing it the conventional way. I just had two people help me, we marked our registration on the window, had them hold it out, and I cut a chunk of liner out of the middle. I squeegeed that down in the middle, and then we had two separate pieces to work with. Someone here suggested it to me, and it was the best tool for this scenario I'd have ever drempt up.
It does catch a little, but like said before, keep moving and you'll be fine slicing the back once you get going. The glass tape on it really does help with that. You'll love it. Once you have it, you find all kinds of jobs to use it for.

great tool, and easily ordered from the Fellers' catalog.
I'm about to order two more, as we keep fighting over who's toolbox it stays in.
three months of heavy use, and the teflon tape finally started peeling-up at the leading edge. I simply clipped-off the part of the tape that wouldn't stick back down, and it still glides across the adhesive backing like it was brand-new.
