outer squeege

[jcb]

Anyone purchased the outer squeege from Datsun Land So Cal parts or from anyone else? I need a set and am wondering about quality and fit. I will appreciate any replies. Thanks, JB

I looked into having some manufactured a couple years back. The extrusion would be pretty cheap--I think the minimum order was around $600.00 and that would get you as many sets as you could ever sell. The problem is attaching them to the stainless steel. The OEM uses staples, which are difficult to reattach without the proper stapler. The site you referenced sells them with rivets-you need to make darn sure that the rivet heads do not touch the glass. I also heard that their rubber profile was not all that close to the OEM.

tlorber, Thanks for the reply. Have you ordered any from anyone else. I think I have seen a listing for a squeege with the stainless attached but they were pretty expensive and I do not remember who the company was. Any ideas for other manufacturers?

I bought the ones from Black Dragon and am well pleased. The replacement stainless strip looks good but is not pre-curved to fit the door. With some care and effort, it can be warped into shape. I opted to move the rubber over to my old stainless and used pop-rivets for attachment. Per tlorber's caution, pop rivets have to be installed carefully to keep them away from the glass.

Thanks Jim for the reply. I'll check on Black Dragon web site. JB
