    I have no problem with the wiper speed, however, I notice that occasionally the bottom half of the driver's side wiper "flutters" as it sweeps. I'm guessing it's probably due to the length of the blade, but it is somewhat annoying.

    That's exactly what I'm getting. I noticed yesterday that SWMBO's Gen 2 OEM long front wiper blade looks exactly the same as mine (slightly shorter) but it has ribs on it that stiffen it considerably, no wobble on hers.

    The passenger side wiper blade on Gen 2 should be 26", IIRC.

    I think the Gen 4's is longer.
