My old window squeegees were torn and probably deteriorated from my sweaty arm hanging out over the years:
Definite improvement, I still need to do mine so I am a little envious.

Well in a keeping up with the "Alvins" and my own WYAII (While Your at It Itis) I installed a squeegee today.
I notice a stress crack which must have occurred when I installed the vent window trim ... doh

Not sure if I lost patina point here or not, but the old squeegee as pretty dilapidated

I met with notoptoy and then came home and sawzalled the 68 2000 in preparation for its departure. Thinking about what all I need to do for my herd. Maybe I'll do a write-up of how I came to get my newest car...
