motavated Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 NOT THE HANG-510 METHOD!!! That can be found here btw http://forum.ratsun.net/showthread.php?t=3234&highlight=Window+Squeegee This is great cus you wont have to pay 112.95 for a set at Datsun restore and it will cost less than 10 dollars plus it wont scratch the glass anymore... Ok... This is what you do... First find a 4runner years 91-95 and look if it has the rear door Once you find this SUV with the 3.SLOW look for the rear window squeegee... "you will need two" Here is my suv for an example... Second remove that squeegee with some pliers and be careful not to rip it. Third buy it cus it wont fit in your pocket and or bend it. Forth take it home and cut to fit... Here are some finished examples... Quote Link to comment

420n620 Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 I'm bumping this tread because I lost one of mine on the way to Canby. Will this clip back up to the original holes. I guess I'll find out if no respond. :D Quote Link to comment
motavated Posted June 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 It will fit into those metal clips... You will have the remove the old remaining squeegee to make it fit snug. Just take good measurement and don't half ass it like me... Quote Link to comment
LAYEDOUTB2K Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 will this work on a 320 also? or most other datsuns for that matter? Quote Link to comment
jefe de jefes Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Sweet. Thanks for the tip. My wagon is in need of squeeges? Quote Link to comment
motavated Posted June 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 I think if it has those metal clips that the 620 has in the doors. It would work on almost all Datsun's... I have also learned that the 1st generation 4runner has the rear rubber you guys need.... Quote Link to comment
Jester Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Great info here! Thanks for the idea. Quote Link to comment
g-mam Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 To any one who has done this. Do you just put the clips on this new rubber, or do you use the metal strip that the clips are on? This new one seems stiff enough without that metal piece. Quote Link to comment
g-mam Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Here are photos of the window seals Quote Link to comment
motavated Posted July 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 (edited) Damn! came out clean!!!! It was hard to bend the rubber were the door bends up. But its alright... I need too redo mine since they are way too short. Edited July 23, 2009 by Motavated Quote Link to comment
g-mam Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Yeah, I didn't even bend the piece, but I may pop it out later and try to bend it. You have to leave the metal in there for it to work. Quote Link to comment
Jester Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 That looks really good. Quote Link to comment

jesus620 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 I'm definitely doing this on my 620...glad I found this post before paying $200 for the squeegees on ebay. Quote Link to comment
deadmonkey Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 that sure is a lot of extra rubber though. Maybe subtract like 1/2 of the rubber on the outside of the door? Clipping around both doesn't seem the best because I would think the clips would rub on the window. Maybe clip just one so the other piece covers the clips? Quote Link to comment

Logical1 Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 I've been bored and broke lately. I wanted to fix my Dime's outer window squeegees. However the 510's squeegees are embedded in a piece of metal trim. I don't have the scratch to buy a new set, So I set about figuring it out on a Ratsun budget! First I took my old squeegees off and figured out how they were built: The outer stainless trim piece with a piece of squeegee rubber sandwiched with a piece of steel(not stainless) glued and stapled together: So I took it apart as gently as I could: I went to the hardware store and found some cheap but quality rubber squeegee material for a screen door that had close to the same squeegee wiper depth +/- $3 It had some extra ridges on the back so I cut them down/off to flush like so: Sanded the backing plate of steel to clean off the rust: Then I sandwiched the squeegee with the backing plate and drilled out the old staple holes a tiny bit bigger. I had some TINY little picture framing nails and I used them like a hand bent staple. Basically sandwich it together, hold it with a small clamp, drill out the holes, drop the nails through & bend them over like a staple. Pics: After that I used some epoxy on a toothpick to the underside of the nails to make sure they don't work themselves out with vibration. I just put a dab or two on where I bent the nails to hold them together/in place. After the epoxy cured I put some fresh paint on to protect the backing plate and make them nice and shiny! Snapped them back on my doors and VIOLA! Work better then alot of other squeegees I have seen brand new! Total cost was around $10 for paint, epoxy, and the squeegee material! I wont tell you it was fun to do but it fits the Ratsun budget and how often do you get to use nails on your car ;) Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 I I went to the hardware store and found some cheap but quality rubber squeegee material for a screen door that had close to the same squeegee wiper depth +/- $3 It had some extra ridges on the back so I cut them down/off to flush like so: I wont tell you it was fun to do but it fits the Ratsun budget and how often do you get to use nails on your car ;) So in the top picture, did you cut off extra piece by your thumb,, or the part by your finger AND which hardware ( cuz im lazy and cheap ) did you find it at. Thanks Quote Link to comment
Logical1 Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 So in the top picture, did you cut off extra piece by your thumb,, or the part by your finger AND which hardware ( cuz im lazy and cheap ) did you find it at. Thanks I cut off the the two ridges by my thumb, So it formed a upside down L shape. I found that material at a local 'Sebos do-it center' Which I doubt there are many left! I'm thinking just about any quality rubber with a squeegee lip will work. Shit after reading something about using windshield wiper blades, They would probably work great pinched in there! I'll try to track down the compatible parts and post them up! Quote Link to comment
Javin Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Necro thread rising. Thanks for all the great info. I am trying to figure out the best method to repair/replace my interior and exterior ones. I believe [2edeye said the taiwan stuff sucks... So... looks like I may mod some of my own.
