I put new ones in from Tweeeks. Now when I try to roll the windows down, it is very difficult. Lots of friction. Does this let up over time as the squeegie gets older or did I get the wrong ones?

hard to tell without pics, but it shouldn't be that difficult to roll down. How about rolling them up? Did you use wd40 to slide them in? Is your window squeaky clean?

don't use wd-40, period. use glyserin, avail at most pharmcies. try cleaning the window with a amonnia/vinegar mix in water. the build up on the outside can of the window can add lots of drag.

I slid them in with soap and water. They seem to fit just fine, and look great. It rolls up without a problem. The are hard against the window, so there is a lot of rubbing on the way down. I don't think the cleanliness of the window is an issue but they are clean.
