If I was going to go out and buy all new assemblies, I'd get the TSB wiper assemblies. That is, IF they fit on my car. (I was replying to someone with a 2004 TSX.)

For those interested in the new wiper assemblies (TSB B07-015), the part # for the set is 76660-SEC-305, and the individual pieces are:
Left wiper 76620-SEC-305 (replacement insert 76622-STK-A01)
Right wiper 76630-SEC-306 (replacement insert 76632-SEC-305)
Left wiper 76620-SEC-305 (replacement insert 76622-STK-A01)
Right wiper 76630-SEC-306 (replacement insert 76632-SEC-305)

sickboy,
Apologies for the belated "Thanks!", but Thanks! We ended up moving very soon after this post and I got side-tracked.
It was very convenient ordering the wiper refills from acurapartsworld.com. I picked up two sets.

I'm not sure what you're referring to, but in my previous post I'm talking about entire wiper assemblies, not wiper inserts (blades). I know, the numbers and nomenclature are confusing.
If I was going to go out and buy all new assemblies, I'd get the TSB wiper assemblies. That is, IF they fit on my car. (I was replying to someone with a 2004 TSX.)

At the Cary dealership yesterday, I checked on availability and pricing of the TSB wiper blades and inserts, was told that though the TSB blade kit was available, the TSB blade inserts were NOT AVAILABLE. Unless somone tells me different, then, the TSB wipers are not a long-term solution, if you have to buy the whole blade to replace. Might as well get aftermarket ones, possibly cheaper.
Sincerely hope anyone with TSB blades and finding replacement inserts kept their originals.

I had to make 4 trips to the dealership because the first 3 times those idiots didn't listen to me when I told them I had the TSB wiper inserts. I think the one time they ordered me the MDX inserts because they were the same size. Finally on the 3rd trip back I told them to look into the TSB for the part numbers. They had to order them and thus the 4th trip to pick them up. I am not sure if they were sitting too long or what but after the first week they started to streak.
Luckily I have RainX so it doesn't bother me as much. I don't think I will go through replacing these as obviously they are not making as many of these as they make with their other lines.
I'll stick with the aftermarket ones after these go out.

Bottom line: honda is confusing everyone (including dealerships) with this behavior of updating parts by reusing part numbers instead of simply putting out new part numbers to reflect the updated parts.

So it seems as though the tab inserts are still being stocked then? I find it strange that honda would stop carrying these, especially since if you look at the tsb, they've actually updated the part numbers so that the tsb inserts have the same part numbers as the older inserts that were part of the original tsb in 2007. To clarify, when the tsb first came out around 2007, you could order new wiper blade housings and new inserts that were rubber which solved the chattering. But since that time, the tsb has been updated (in 2010 I believe) to use those same part numbers for the brand new plastic inserts that all honda models are using now. I'm assuming that the blade housings on the tsb also have changed to accommodate the new plastic inserts, but I ran into this same issue earlier this year when I tried to order replacement rubber inserts for my wiper housings that were replaced in 2008 using the older 2007 tsb part numbers. So now those same rubber insert part numbers actually get you the newer plastic inserts that are listed in the 2010 revision of the tsb.

According to npolite's post above, you can still order both kinds of wiper inserts. However, it hard to know which exact part numbers to use to get the updated plastic inserts (2010) vs. the older (but still functional) rubber inserts that were first introduced in the original tsb to replace the oem chattering arms/inserts.

[1] I give the blade inserts a quick wipe with the towel/cleaning fluid when I clean my windscreen. Generally keeps them in good shape and ready for rain.

Plastic inserts?Since this TSB is what I'm hosting on my domain, these are the part numbers (well, I'm pretty sure) that I was inquiring about:
For those interested in the new wiper assemblies (TSB B07-015), the part # for the set is 76660-SEC-305, and the individual pieces are:
Left wiper 76620-SEC-305 (replacement insert 76622-STK-A01)
Right wiper 76630-SEC-306 (replacement insert 76632-SEC-305)
Left wiper 76620-SEC-305 (replacement insert 76622-STK-A01)
Right wiper 76630-SEC-306 (replacement insert 76632-SEC-305)
WAIT. As per this post:
Acurapartsworld.com still has them (76622-STK-A01 , 76632-SEC-305). They also have the TSB wipers (individual), and the set is only $29 or so.

Thanks but I have no clue regarding plastic vs rubber inserts. What the heck is a plastic insert? By plastic insert, are you talking about the TSB which is the redesigned articulated plastic arm fitted with a rubber insert? As DavidS said in post #52 above, the TSB wipers I bought are p/n 76660-SEC-305. This p/n includes both left and right wiper arms both fitted with rubber inserts which I assume and hope are replaceable as DavidS described.

Can someone help me figure out why honda/acura part dealers are showing two separate prices and part numbers for the blade sets or separate blade parts?
For example, see here: Honda Parts Unlimited | Genuine OEM Honda Parts & Accessories
The "honda" part is cheaper than the matching acura part, but aren't they the exact same part since its the same honda part number? I get two different prices if I also input the individual blade assemblies for most online retailers as well (76620-SEC-305 Left Wiper Blade 76630-SEC-306 Right Wiper Blade). It's cheaper to buy these blade individually for some reason, instead of the set. If I buy the "honda" listed part, will it be exactly the same as the "acura" listed part number? This just seems like a stupid system to have two separate parts listed for the same number.

FYI. Honda has discontinued the ability to order separate (left or right) new wiper blades (76620-SEC-305 Left Wiper Blade 76630-SEC-306 Right Wiper Blade). So you'll have to buy them only as a set (76660-SEC-305), for some reason. I don't quite understand why they can't sell individual blades, but that's Honda for you
