I don't understand why people are worried about what wiper blade to use... There is nothing special about the wiper blades on this car. they are like any other car.
I just use any blade that is the right size.
As some folks noted earlier in the thread and elsewhere, some of them don't fit properly or have other issues.

I get them from Costco for $8 each, and only buy them when they are on sale for 2 for $8.
Let us know the exact model, model and Costco part number. Do they fit properly and lay flat on the windshield?

You do not buy replacement inserts.
I did.

You should get the entire blade and mechanism together.
Why? To spend more $ and be more wasteful in terms of $ and materials? It was much cheaper buying the Mitsuba inserts from a Honda dealer than buying entire blade assemblies from my Nissan dealer, since they didn't sell the inserts/refills. And, I know the blade I have is correct.
If memory serves, from the markings on the inserts on my car, they were just like the ones from Honda and almost certainly made by Mitsuba.
