Most glides fit snugly straight out of the box. If a glide feels loose after fitting, it can be secured with a small bead of suitable adhesive or sealant. If a glide is a tight fit, gently ease it over the wand lips rather than forcing it, and avoid trimming the glide material unless you are confident doing so, as removing too much can affect retention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/ZFrlhYqQFfw?si=17h1aUhRDaPcqwFM\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow to remove the metal lips off your wand.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVendor:\u003c\/strong\u003e GreenGlides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCurrent SKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e AW5GGWP4i (formerly WP12LP3 \/ WP4-3)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Slotted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Internal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable wand era:\u003c\/strong\u003e Post-2015 (\"New Style\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable jet configurations:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2-Jet and 4-Jet Low Profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable wand construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Steel or titanium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Buy from Carpet Cleaners Warehouse?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrusted by Australia's professional carpet cleaning and restoration industry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTechnical advice from experienced industry professionals.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast Australian shipping from local stock.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuality replacement parts for leading professional brands.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this fit my Westpak wand?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is designed for post-2015 (\"New Style\") Westpak 12\" Low Profile 2-jet and 4-jet wands, including Sapphire-branded equivalents.

As a glide wears, the wand becomes harder to push and the exposed metal lips can begin to contact and mark the carpet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs minor fitting adjustment normal?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes.
