i just wiped the blades off with the alcohol provided hopin the fog effect would go away. we'll see what happens. but if the fog effect is gonna happen again, this thing is useless during heavy rain cuz ur constantly gonna have a "fog like looking" layer on the outside and its gonna block ur view !!

I actually got to try these wipers out today. They worked very well - no complaints. And I definitely don't have any horrible chatter from the blades anymore like I used to with the old style. I'll just have to wait and see how long these suckers hold up.

I tried mine today and also noted the fog effect. It would last 1-2 sec after the blade would pass, then go away. Overall, these blades don't streak, are quiet, and leave the window crystle clear (as soon as the fog passes). We'll see how they hold up

I installed mine last weekend during a rainstorm. 
They do seem to work well with no streaking, squeeking or chatter. They stay planted at speed. I had the fog issue also but I have had it with other wipers. The old wipers have left residue on the windshield that will wear off if light or will need to be stripped off if heavy like on mine.
