I think I'll try the OEM replacement rubber blade inserts this time since so many recommend it here. Can anyone suggest where to buy them? When I Google it and go into various sites, the info is arcane and costs are nearly the same as buying entire new blade assemblies.

I've done a pretty thorough search in the owner's manual and cannot find any indication of the windshield wiper length. By measurement, they are 26"/20" (~25.75"/19.5" actual). It just seems really odd this is not specified somewhere in the manual.

OK, go ahead, embarrass me by finding it in like, 2 seconds! ;)
 
No embarrassment for you - I didn't find it in the owner manual either.

According to the Anco catalog and Bosch catalog the fronts are 26" and 20" and the rear is 14".
I've only had the A-Spec about 4 1/2 months and factory wiper blades are rubbing and making noise in light rain, etc. Not a fan.

For those of you that have been driving the gen4 longer, any strong recommendations for new wiper blade brand/type?

Historically, I've had good luck with Bosch Icon blades.
I just put on Bosch wipers and they are working well

I took a look at the Honda/Acura Dreamshop parts catalog. I believe the refill part numbers are:


- Drivers side wiper refill (650mm length): 76622-TDK-J02

- Passenger side wiper refill (500mm length): 76632-TY2-A04

- Rear wiper refill (400mm length): 76722-TYA-A01

The catalog has the lengths measured in millimeters and are listed in parentheses above. Definitely verify the part numbers before ordering.

I’m having the same problem. Did getting the Bosch blades work?

OK, this is getting to be a pain in the arse. I am trying to order the Acura part numbers above for the wiper blade inserts. The part numbers are 76622-TDK-J02 (650mm) and 76632-TY2-A04 (500mm). Virtually every OEM parts site I've tried indicates these are the wrong part numbers for my vehicle based on the year-make-model description as well as the VIN.

Does anyone know where I can confirm these part numbers so I can get these ordered?

Thanks.
 
I use the oem wiper inserts. Super cheap. I also use a paper towel with washer fluid on it to wipe down the blade Every couple weeks. Keeps the junk off and makes them last much longer.
I'm in your Camp. I have repalced the Wiper rubber inserts about a year ago. They are Squealing again. I tried the denatured alcohol trick I learned many years ago. Wiped the rubber with DA and they improved, but still squealing under light raining situations. Probably going to replace them again - cheap enough to do. There is nothing wrong with the Blades. BTW, DA is great for getting remnant glue from your windshield (for Regi or State Inspection stickers) = works like a Charm.

I finally found a site that had them both in stock with reasonable shipping. The shipping still cost about as much as the blades. I ordered them from Curry Acura in Scarsdale, NY. Like many others, selecting a 2023 MDX and searching for wiper blades results in "no results." If you search the part numbers above, they have them however, their site says they do not fit my vehicle. I'll update whether they fit or not once they arrive. Most sites say these part numbers do not fit a 2023 MDX.

That's My Dealer for my 22 MDX !! I think I will take a ride over there and pick up a pair of new rubber inserts. THX

My local dealer.
Driver: 76622 – TDK – J02
Passenger: 76632 – TY2– A04
Rear: 76722 – TYA – A01.
Thanks. Yes, those are the part numbers someone provided by @YD8SADV above and the ones I ordered. Even with $10 shipping they were only about $20. I didn't buy the rear. I think that has only wiped a couple dozen times and that is only because I forgot to turn it off backing out of the garage in the rain. I very rarely use the rear wiper.

Man, you got a great deal on those. I just went to the same Dealer, Curry in Scarsdale, NY to buy in person. For all 3 new rubber inserts with taxes it came to $30. Now to install them - today!. BTW, I tried the age old trick of using Denatured Alcohol to clean the exisiting rubber (a lot of black junk came off) but that did not alleviate the intermitent squealing of the wipers. I replaced these about 8 months ago or so. It is astounding how the rubber wears so easily - I guess it's the toxins in the air. Acid Rain they used to call it. Acid Rain breaks down the rubber, I believe. MY MDX is parked outside everyday. Only have room for the wife's 2016 CRV for 2 reasons: 1) too much other junk in there ; 2) the ceiling height with the garage door opener is too Low (it's a Built in 2 car garage in a Ranch House.
