Will all dog eared channels you will find that rubber wears a little quicker at the ends. Soft rubber can wear very quickly especially on older frames. Razer Red is by far the best. I get great longevity from that but I do have all handles set at 25° now. More soap than normal to increase slip, 25° handle. A little bit of support at the clip ends in the form of plastic or wire sliver at the back between clip and rubber. Soft touch on the glass and you should be good to go.

I use razr and can do at least a couple of months without flipping the rubber and that is with constant use

You wouldnt get that long with my razr batch, they are good for a week and thats not constant use

I've ditched the razrblade red and gone back to Unger hard, like others have said, it leaves too many lines. I liked it to start with, maybe it is a bad batch?

.....you put something between your blue clip and your rubber Eric?

Hi Keefo yes, just a small piece of small zip tie between the back of the clip and the rubber. Acts like a retention clip and holds the rubber perfectly solid. Bob gave me the tip a couple of weeks ago. Works well. Nice bit of fine tuning...

But aren't you detailing?

 

[Dave B]

No detailing here mate

@Adams0211 has seen me tradding and he'll tell you

I sometimes detail the bottom edge on seal less windows as i don't like to leave the soap sitting there but that's about it

 

[mark]

you may get the lines from time to time,but no detailing.i hate it!! but carnt work without it

 

[Dave B]

I can work without it as i would go back to modding my own channels

But the liquidators work perfectly for me and i don't get the metal modded channels scraping on the frames

Lovely jubbly
