Window Squeeges

[djlotus]

Any update? My car is missing the squeegees so I'm really interested in this thread. Wish there was a way to subscribe like in VBulletin based forums.

You can, its way down at the bottom of the page. Under the 'Who is online' thing.

I ground the old staples off and re-used the metal plate. I drilled a 7/32 hole where the staples went thru (1 side of staple only) and installed a 7/32 aluminum rivot. I used 7 rivots per side. I thought about putting glue onto the rubber but did not. The scraper works and looks fine.

Any update on using the Z car moldings?

[joker72z]

I was checking sources just this week and the moldings are readily available from MSA and Black Dragon. I just haven't had the chance to comapre them side by side. Too busy working on my condo really to do much of anything else. I am thinking though that other than trimming for length, they should work.

none here either, but next time im next to one ill compare the fit.

Went to PNP today and pulled a squeegee off a 77 280Z- it's about an inch too short for my 2 door 510

[joker72z]

Other than length, did it look like a good fit for the 510? I have a 4 door so the overall door length is shorter.

[johnnygalt]

It was a good fit other than being too short. If I could fit the one I got today in a $5 flat rate Express Mail envelope, I'd send it to you

[joker72z]

Well that is a great piece of news other than being too short for the 2 doors....Perhaps the guys with 4 doors and wagons can utilize the Z car squeeges to solve the availability issues.
Thanks for the update of the fitment issue. I appreciate it

Maybe I spoke too soon...Is the door on the 4 door sedan actually shorter than the 2 door? Hmmm, I am not knowing.

[joker72z]

I was looking at the basic doors on the Z car and he 2+2 is longer than a stock Z door...therefore, a squeege for the 2+2 would probably fit. They too are available at Black Dragon for $49.95 per side NEW>

Hope that helps

I'll post the 2+2 question on Ratsun and see if someone with a 2+2 can measure the squeegee.

yes it is, by ~2"
may still require trimming for a perfect fit.

Great..thanks for the information. All things considered, if we can use the Z car squeege and it is a brand new item for $50/side...we are lucky. NOS or OEM stuff that is being offered for outrageous prices is fine but this looks to be a really affordable alternative.

I think I am going to order a pair to test fit on the new 4 door. Hopefully it will look great once finished.
