Windshield Wipers

Just bought new windshield wipers from InfinitiPartsDeal.com for my G37X Coupe, only to have them cancel the order a day later because the parts "are no longer available or being manufactured." I believe the last time I bought some was 3 years ago (it is well past time to replace them)
I really like the look of the OEM blades as they are low profile and work well enough.
The part numbers are 28895-CB08C (driver) and 28895-JK01A (passenger)
Has anyone been able to procure those OEM blades recently?
If not, what have you been using?
Thanks

[edit] I did buy those: https://www.ebay.com/itm/254502580883
Seller: carpart777
They are the real thing and came in today (took a month). Highly recommended.

Does the coupe use the same size wipers as the sedan? If so, there are Honda refills that fit perfectly.

(Honda part numbers)

Driver's side: HON76622STKA02 RUB, BLADE (650mm) [Mitsuba MOB2-S2-105 (650 mm)]

Passenger's side: HON76632STKA02 RUB, BLADE (400mm) [Mitsuba MOB2-S2-085 (400 mm)]

The wipers are 650 mm on the driver side and 430 mm on the passenger side. I will check AutoZone tomorrow. The driver side is the noisier one at the moment, I could change it while I look at my options for the passenger side.
Thank you!

It looks like those part numbers are for the refills. You can just go to a Honda dealer like the other guy said and pick them up. Should be under $20 for both. Amazon sells them too.

I just bought these in Oct. :

https://www.ebay.com/itm/254502580883

These are the whole arms and not just the refills. They arrived quickly in OEM packaging and fit perfectly. I'm like you and wanted the OEM blades but the previous owner had tossed them in favor of some Rain-X's.

Edit: Looks like price went up to $45, I bought them for $30.

Replaced both in my 2013 6MT a couple of weeks ago. There are 2 different sizes.
Bought replacements from Costco $10 each. They have chart showing sizes for different cars & years, including ours.
Installation was easy. Everything works great.

You like how they look with the car? I mean, I guess I didn't pay too much attention to appearance but.. if you want the best wipers, HANDS DOWN, as in wiping everything very well, not leaving streaks behind etc.. I'd say go for BOSCH icons. I have used them for years, and they still wipe so well. (I am, however, in California where we do not see much precipitation..) hopefully this helps.

The main reason I like them is they are low profile and they do not protrude above the hood when not running. It's not so much for the aerodynamics, but for the clean look.
All the aftermarkets have the arm above the wiper itself, so you can see them when you are sitting behind the wheel. The OEM ones have the arm to the side, so they are lower profile.

K&N Edge wiper blades have the arm on the side also. Go for aboout $40 on Amazon. Have them now and they work pretty well.

Glendale and Van Nuys Infiniti dealers in socal send me service coupons that include a wiper set for 29.95. I drive by a nissan dealer to work and they price match as well. looks like the same wiper to me. Van Nuys infiniti has a printable coupon on their site now. Take it to your local dealer. Hope and pray they honor it.

Thanks, but the closest Infiniti dealer is 2 hours away from me unfortunately, so I am stuck with getting that kind of stuff online.

I ordered these, they are from China. The passenger side wiper assy is about 20mm shorter than my actual OEM one currently on my car. Kind of corroborates with the Honda wipers that are basically interchangeable.

Interestingly, these blades are from DongFeng Honda in China, and listed as a NISSAN part. So, it seems our true OEM option is gone, but if these work OK I'll continue using the Honda-made ones. What I really need is just the inserts though......
