I needed windshield wiper refills for my 2012 hyundai sonata factory wiper blades. Hyundai has the strange policy of charging more for a wiper refill than a new blade. It turns out that Toyota and Hyundai both use NWB/Nippon to supply them with wiper blades.
For the drivers side I purchased Toyota part #85214-68020 for $9.97 with free prime shipping. It fits perfect. The part number for the passenger side should be Toyota part #85214-30400. I haven't tested the passenger side refill. Many Toyota dealers don't stock wiper refills. In my case it was easier to order them on Amazon than to special order them from a Toyota dealer.
My Hyundai dealer wanted $16 for the refills and would have to special order them.

Wiper refill update - Anco
The Buick Park Avenue is ready for new wiper refills. I went to Advanced Auto and found that the Trico break to fit refills are no longer stocked in the store. They are still available on the internet. So I decided to look at other refills.
Anco still makes refills, but every website I went to (including Anco's consumer website) lacked information on the width and profile of the refill. After much surfing I came across an Anco catalog with the dimensions and profile of each wiper refill by part number. Here is the catalog:
