I usually just brush the snow off by hand and it doesn't seem to stick on the window when the car is moving. The weight seems to be more usable for opening and closing the trunk. It is surprising how different and easy it feels compared to before when you open or close it. The only thing that i could see improving the mpg, if at all, is the wiper delete.
