Walmart has the metal ones as does AZ. RainX brand or others.

I bought some really base style el-cheapo ones the last go round. Finally had to replace the original ones last year. haha
Napa had them for like 10 bucks for the pair, black metal, single wipe. Works fine, looks close to stock.

I've been using the 'full rubber style' blades 5 years now, could not be happier since thy perform like 20x better than the old springloaded ones, and do not really make any noise.
Tho I recommend using 93+ wiper arms since they have more clearance for better operation, at least on AC-Delco rubber blades.

I have '93 plus wiper arms just for the better spray nozzle operation.

I get the Michelin brand ones from walmart, and they have metal frames and work really well!

just keep a good coating of rainx on and you won't need wipers.
