Open to any and all suggestions.....the 1 I had looked at is not esthetically appealing.

Please do not forget the A/C system (heat and air) gets its airflow from the entire area under the wipers. If you start sucking large amounts of air from that area you may be starving/drawing air from the interior (reverse flow). Maybe not, but then again, if you experience adverse air conditioning symptoms it might be airflow related.
