Do not last
I was a little skeptical of these wiper blades when I purchased and installed the Latitude 2-n-1 blades in Feb 2017. But I thought that I would still give them a try, because I liked the idea of the wiper blade applying Rain-X. I cleaned the windshield and also applied Rain-X on half the windshield at the time of the install. First day using the wiper blades the Rain-X applied side performed as expected, nice clear, water beading up and rushing off the windshield. The other side the water was only slightly beading up, but I figured that the blades had to get their internal compound transferred over to the windshield to full work. 2 weeks go by and the Rain-X I applied as worn off and I am no loner experiencing any type of water beading on the windshield. Other than the Rain-X not lasting I am was not surprised that the wiper blades did not provide water beading as described, but I was hopeful.
Since this was my first time using Rain-X brand wiper blades I wondered how long they would last. In the rain we had in October and November I noticed marginal streaking, that if I sprayed windshield washer fluid onto the windshield or ran a rag along the wiper blade to clean it would allow for the streaking to go away for a week or so. Come to Jan 2018 and the streaking is back with a vengeance. Windshield washer fluid and cleaning the blade haven't fixed the streaking issue.
My recommendation is to not buy Rain-X wiper blades if you live in an area that gets a lot of rain.
