10 to 12 inch rubbers work out at about 90p if you use the 36 inch ones and cut them down. That's 45p a side, I change mine almost every day, sometimes sooner, so the expense (per day) works out OK. having said all that, I'm just starting with the Liquidator, so that might make a difference, we'll see.
, what is it?.the same problem hereBought the 14" liquidator and have fitted it with facelift rubber, that I use in modded unger channels. I like the channel, but im really struggling to use the squeegee, I have one fitted in the new moermann handle and also tried it in the unger ergotec handle.
My problem is the angle of holding the squeegee handle, it seems to be very specific, very flat(horizontal) on the window and not much room for error, when trying to finish and lifting the handle away (not by much in my eyes) from frame there is a soap trail in the curvature of the end clip. My modded channels have a lot of forgiveness compared to it. I feel the rubber is jumping a bit with fanning as well even when im taking it easy compared to modded channel. I want it to work, im missing something obviously
My wife, sister and other window cleaner have tried it and all get same results, so I know its not just me, should have sold it with instructions for dummies
Make sure the rubber is cut absolutely flush with the end clips. The Facelift rubber is a touch thicker than Moerman so make sure that the clips aren't holding the rubber too loose OR too tight. You just want it to be snug. I found with my clips and the Facelift rubber that I had to heat and actually prise the back of the clip a touch wider because it was distorting the rubber. Also, yep you have to be pedantic with the angle, it is not forgiving...Bought the 14" liquidator and have fitted it with facelift rubber, that I use in modded unger channels.

Hi boarcity, I was thinking that you and your workers all use the wagtail with liquidator, so wondering if the wagtail handle actually holds the squeegee on the window at the proper angle better. You guys use ladders, so you may be working at full stretch sometimes, which with the wagtail, you dont have to use such an exact angle when closing out, without leaving a soap trail, in the curve( not at end) of endclip?
iv not had any lines or soap trail left - i took great care getting the angle of the channel in the wagtail set at exact angle [ after fookin up my first effort] . the only way it works is having the angle of channel rubber blade set Exactly as it was in the original channel. As it happens only 2 of us are using this set up,we both love it - the other 2 havnt even tried their brand spankin new Moermans out ! very suspicious of change are country boys !!!
Hi boar
slimline - its a winner!
yes. i think its a 3mm drill bit i used . to find the spot to drill slide channel in and tilt it up as far as you can . i actually sliced a little bit[1 or 2 mm] off the plastic top edge so i could tilt channel up a tad more- to be exact same angle as original was set at
