Yep, amazing isn't it, a 'top of the range squeegee' is actually the worst!

[Joey Eastwood]

yep! so much hype when it came out aswel, i just think its good on some types of windows but not others with chunky frames or big seals at the edge. when you dog ear a channel it saves loads of time, but i seem to burnnnn through rubber lol.   every know and then i dig the ninja out for a day and by the end of the day its back in the cupboard haha.

I know there is a manufacturer working on a new channel as we speak, it's going to be a dog eared squeegee basically pre done. Shouldn't be long before it's released, it's the 'polz n bladz' guy on YouTube that has collaborated with a company to make a dog eared squeegee.

i wonder how much more they will charge for the little cut and bent over bit in the corner? lol. gonna put my ninja on ebay now you've reminded me iv got one see how much i can get to land it on someone haha

[kempy]

So it's just a 1cm cut into the metal channel . Then bend it up a tad .

[duncan h]

The ones I saw were just with corners bent, no cut

[Joey Eastwood]

i dont cut into the corners i just bend them with pliers, if u cut it theres a chance you could weaken the corner and it bend off etc

You got a red rubber never seen that before are they any good

Red rubber is amazing, lasts ages and ages with no nicks.

Reason I made the split is for an easier bending and fine tuning, plus I also slightly pull the dog ear outwards as well so it's nearer the tip of the rubber edge.

It won't bend out if shape unless you really pushed hard, I mean very hard.

Kempy, yeah just a little 3/4 cm split and some pliers, simple and so effective, I'd known about it for years and never done it, thinking its just a fad, but when I tried it, I couldn't believe the difference!

I thought it was something to do with this...



Nearly moved it to the off-topic area of the forum.

No you don't have to, however if you do you have easier adjustment and as I said can also bend the channel towards the leading edge of the rubber a bit as well, which also helps.
