I bought a pack of pre cut green rubbers and they are rubbish,they don't last half as long as standard one's.
Not sure if I had a bad batch,put one in a blade yesterday and it didn't even last a day they wear very quick.
Gave most away.

Also they don't take all the soap off the windows, I used about 6 then thought I'm not having this so got onto cleaning spot and to be fair I'd had them for around 6 weeks as now it's more pole work than squeegee and they did given money back so I purchased the 12" unger pre cut black blades which are sooooo much better and you can turn them around.

You bought a hundred before trying them?
