The title says it all… do you notch?
If not, why not?
I used to use a dog eared channel I cut to 45 degrees aka wagga with a split and pushed forward … but that was a few years ago… but cutting rubbers was a bit of a pain … I might try it again … but I saw a few videos on nothing the corners of the rubbers to cut down on detailing, and to not ride over shallow ledges .
I tried it… it seems to help a bit…. And fast and easy to do.
I was taught to do that with the rubbers back in the mid eighties. Haven’t done it much since. Also they would crimp the corners of the channels.

I’ll cut the corner of my rubber if I’ve flipped my rubber already and I don’t have another rubber in the van to change out to.

My question is the opposite, why?
I use liquidators and even from the factory they cut the corners off the rubber. which isn’t necessary.
I have no detailing leaving my rubbers whole.

I’m talking about the front edge that contacts the glass… a little 1/8” or less notch on the front corners…. So instead of one corner contacting the frame, it’s two little corners contacting the frame … I will say it helps on shallow edges …
Got a pic? First time I’ve heard of this.
A lot of British guys have videos … wagga and the boys … I’ll put up a pick when I’m near a squeegee
I guess you and I are cleaning Really different windows, 90% of the windows I clean the rubber is not hitting a frame it is hitting the rubber gasket, so your mod would be useless.
I find mostly when guys are learning they attempt to take shortcuts by modding gear that most other people make work fine with practice.
