Windshield wipers skipping
Back to my other problem lol.. I cleaned the windshield and then clayed it.. Wasn't to bad, a little dirt came off.. Cleaned the wiper blades with soap and water and then used alcohol.. Put rain-x on all the windows so I will see if that worked for now..
Kinda sounds like you're not installing them 100% correctly. The J-hook style is probably the most common and replacement blades usually work with J-hook style right out of the box. I can't remember the last time I had to use one of the many adapters they include (for a variety of cars). When you 'hook' it, you really have to push (?) the blade into position very firmly and it will make an obvious "click" when it's in place properly.

I just have to say I hate the RainX plastic blades. Dealer switched them out from OEM on me unrequested. They are bulky and inelegant and really mess up the everpresent clean lines of the G coupe. The OEM metal blades are sleeker and unobtrusive and as Gary said, the insert is high quality and durable. I'm also not a throwaway kind of guy so I'd rather replace just the insert as opposed to the entire plastic blade. I made them put back the OEMs.
