anyone with these wipers getting worn out, I think I found a solution... simply order the rubber inserts from Honda... use the 2008 Accord passenger side, which is 475mm, and CR-Z passenger side which is 525mm If you need 450mm, use the new Insight's passenger side
the rubbers are a unique 9mm design, most wiper blades on the market use 6mm, 7mm, or 8mm width... you must use the 9mm width or you will have issues! EDIT: Honda USA part numbers (I don't know if it works in oz): 76632-TM8-A21 18" (450mm) refill insert 76632-TA0-A02 or 76632-SYP-004 19" (475mm) refill insert 76622-SZT-A01 21" (525mm) refill insert

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! http://www.nwb.co.jp/products/pdf/graphite.pdf 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?
