it looks like the refills are available from NWB in Japan too...

part numbers:
DW45GN = 450mm
DW48GN = 475mm
DW53GN = 525mm

if you're unsure which one you need, looking at the mounting bracket may help:

NWB says that graphite coated rubber, reduces rubber wear, as well as streaking, and chattering when the wipers are used on Rain-X (silicone water repelling) coated glass. They also say that it also helps reduce the tendency of wearing off the coatings, thus making them last longer!

so definitely, these Supergrid Aero wipers were worth it. I think it's worth maintaining them with refills too...

so how about a GB with rupe for those refills?
