You guys losing your clips has prompted me to experiment. Took the clips off a 14" Liquidator cut rubber to length. Not a bad standard channel at all, light and accurate. "Use it after you lose it"

It's about time moerman made it so we can buy the clips. Still don't believe you cannot get spares to replace them.

I've also lost one @norm which makes it useless at the moment.

What I've done to one of my Wagulators is drilled two 1mm holes through the channel about 6mm apart. One of the holes goes through the plastic bit, then put a piece of garden wire from inside the channel up through the holes and twist tight. that'll hold 'em. I've put the wire on mine through the scrubber as well, so it holds everything in place.

you can buy the end clips!!! the window cleaning warehouse sell them 4 £1.95 a pair.

 

[Eric Gilliand]

Racensteins and WCR have them at no charge for customers who have bought their Liquidators off them.

 

[Posh]

I emailed them last week & they said they didn't have them??

 

[Posh]

Wcw that is

 

[boarcity]

an idea i had ages ago but havnt done cos i keep forgetting was to drill a small hole at each end of the channel ,push tip on and then using a soldering iron melt the tip into the hole

I didn't know this, doesn't say clips separate on their website so will look into this. Although I've never lost mine. Cheers Eric

That's good. Obviously the bloke who emailed me back didn't have a clue.

Thanks @Eric Gilliand

Hmmmm........... so I guess they haven't made a tool that comes ready off the shelf then Boars? /emoticons/smile.png)

 

[Dave B]

It is ready off the shelf..if people choose to be careless with their end clips it's up to them lol

I never dropped one yet

Just glue em if your worried

 

[norm]

i got first batch that weren't made right by a sloppy company and had to be put into hot water and fixed as they were loose on the rubber

as they arent made by vw didnt get a recall i just paid my money and received defective made tools and watched a helpful vid to self fix as sloppy company wasn't going to fix my purchase of 6 liquidators with spare sets of rubber that i now know nobody uses as just about any other rubber is superior.

2 handles to fit my defective liquidators p+p of £15.99 and end clips that jump ship

:laugh: no more of my money will be going there way for sure

Correct me if I'm wrong but the guys who are losing their clips seem to be primarily the ones that carry the squeegees in BOAB's ...? I personally have had no issues with the clips but I use the large Ettore bucket and no BOAB. I did have one channel that the clips were slightly less than firm...simply ripped them off, heated in boiling water and compressed the section the goes on the channel. PITA to get back on, but, they haven't moved since...
