I know they say to expect the haziness and that it may take a week or so to clear. It's been a week and they are still the pretty hazy. They look fugly and just hoping they will clear soon.

Jeff's took nearly a month I think. Cold weather won't help.

Default Hairdryer helped mine; colder weather = longer time. Mine will haze slightly during long periods of

rain in the summer or warmer months. It won't hurt anything, but it is frustrating. Don't use a heat gun as they are TOO hot.
