I had to clean them every 20 stop or so and every 5 miles on the expressway.
Went back to "cheap" wiper blades and no problem.

I have never experienced this with the neoforms and I drive from Wisconsin all the way up to the very tip of the MI UP at least once a month from December to April. I looked at my current ones and didn't see any holes - must be a bosch/rainx thing. IMO the rainx latitudes are too stiff anyway and don't make good contact. The bosch simply cost more than the neoforms and I've had great luck. BTW, I just ordered two pairs over the weekend and got them for $8.38 each after free shipping and rebates.
