    It just doesn't rain much here. Basically my wiper blades sit and bake in the CA sun 11 months out of the year and it rains maybe a couple of times a week for the other month.

    I'm thinking the regular frame would be better since we have a pretty large, flat windshield. Figure the flex blade would be prone to lifting in the center.

    Cosmetics? If they aren't any uglier than the stock blades that would be fine.

    Hmmm... a bit of browsing and:

    Silblade (flex or conventional frame)
    Bosch Icon (look nice)
    Rain-X Latitude
    Michelin Radius or Stealth Hybrid

    what to do, what to do

    As a functional improvement the blade wipers are better than your standard steel backed wipers. 3 things I changed on my truck the day I got it...

    Exhaust
    Tires
    Wipers

    I just go rainex...they seem to work fine for me.
