I just got a pair of these, and they work really well for me:

They're sold each, so order two for the front.


They're not longer than stock, but they are a bit beefier.  Their
biggest advantage is that they have a little wing that uses the
slipstream to increase the pressure a bit, so they really leave the
window clear on each swipe.


Even at a stoplight, with no slipstream, they do a far better job than
stock.  But they are brand new, after all.  We'll see how they hold up!


They were recommended to me by the internets.
