Carry a spare rubber and cut that to fit, then take it home and cut the channel, engrave a reference on it, I used to have 14  ::)

Hi Andy,been doing it for years.for outside stuff also.
I used to do a hotel where I needed 4 different sized
`custom cut`channels that fitted each window.Don`t
Do it at all now,outside I WFP and inside because
Of the lack of nicotine ( smoking regs) I just `whip`
Over em`with a scrim or microfiber.
The big advantage with straight pulls with your squeegee
Doing this type of work is your rubbers last a lot longer
……………….helluva site longer…….. ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)
