Got me a couple of 24" ss ettore channels last year and they just sucked. I tried 45'in one but it just wouldn't pull right (leaving water on the glass) and the fan would leave a ton of water and it just sucked.
I found them in the corner of my garage and decided to try one out and see what's up. Channel looked straight so took it out on a slow commercial day to see what's up. Yup, still leaving water on there. Started playing around with the angle and pull and still sucked.
As I was putting it back in my truck to get my faithful 18, I checked the rubber: 3 star. Sheesh. That's what it was. Apparently 3 star is about the same height as unger and my pulls were jacked. I had to lay the squeegee pretty flat against the glass to get it to pull right. I did have a couple of pulex 24 channels that were going to get cut up for various sizes so I pulled one of those rubbers out and put it in my ettore and yup, worked like a charm.
I still don't like the glide of the pulex but at least it works. So I'll probably have to order some 24" ettore rubber to get a real feel but at least I now know what the problem was.
