Funny you should say that Shaun ten years ago when I was 44 and Gordon Williams was 54 half way through a conversation I was having with him he use to say "don't think I'm butting in but I need to say this before I forget" and off he'd go on something completly different to what I was saying, at the time I found it really anonoying. Strange thing is now I find myself doing the very same thing. It must be an age thingy.
Tell me again mate when did yoy first start using glides?

Mine did the same, try turning it round the other way, if that fails you can use something to seal it like mastic.

Mark, Greenie's glides are designed to fit only one way, the right way, that is with the words back  writen on the glide facing you. They have no memory so if you heat it up in hot water and sqeeze it back together it will fit snugley back on your wand. A little tip if  you file a groove in one side of the spray shield on your wand the glide will slide nicely alone the lips of the wand without damageing the glide thus making it easer to remove to clean

I use two small pieces of blue tack at each end of my glide to seal it to the wand this stops any air sucking through the ends of the glide.
Some will say it restricts the air flow but I have found the carpets dry far better

listening to everything said about glides
you must have to change your technique
as i gather makes your wand feel light as a feather probably feels like theres no suction
i like to feel the pull on the carpet do you loose this
