The 3 still has the stock Bosch Excel+ on there while I try to hunt down a Bosch AeroTwin retrofit kit to try to make it more "matched". According to NWB, it'll also help against streaking and skipping on Rain-X (silicone water repelling) coated glass and reduce the tendency of wearing the coating off! The box also says the rubber is graphite coated for better durability. The stock NWB versus the Denso (NWB) "Designer" bladeĪs you can see, the Denso blade is much more arched than the stock blade, which means there's lots more spring tension force from the blade. NWB sells these blades themselves in Japan. From what I could tell by Googling, Denso doesn't sell aftermarket wiper blades anywhere but North America and Europe. It seems that Denso only licensed the product from NWB to sell these overseas since NWB has very little overseas presence as opposed to Denso. NWB made the wiper blades for the Genpus too, but not the Genwons (they are Bosch). All 11 auto makers in Japan use their blades for the most part. Interestingly, these blades were made by NWB, which is the largest wiper blade manufacturer in Japan. It really is a much better, cleaner design! You can also see that there are no holes on the side where the clip is, unlike the cheaper Rain-X Fusions. An inner cardboard wraps over the blades, and then 2 inserts keeps the blade from bouncing around inside the box. Because of the enclosed design, they also greatly reduce ice and snow build up. They're more aerodynamic, lower profile, and the aero design creates a spoiler effect, which adds downforce to the blades thus improving wipes at highway speeds. They are high quality OEM quality blades, using the same exact design, materials, and construction as what you find in cars that comes with these types of blades.
Civics and Corollas now have them, but the 3s are still missing out! These hybrid wiper blades are typical of many late model cars. Got a Christmas gift for my turbo Protege today
