I'm sure they are... Just with different part numbers. Probably made in the same factories. That's something that would be interesting to look into.

Anyone knows if any Honda passenger wiper (non-bent up one) would fit the Mirage? I really hate the bent up north american version ugh...
I have seen a few Wiper blade questions lately, and thought I'd bump this one
I looked around the forum for any information on rear wiper replacements after I called the dealer to get a refill/insert as they look so much like Honda blades they should have them, right? Nope...$37 plus HST for the assembly, no insert. I went to Napa. $17 plus HST , no insert. So I went to the Honda dealer's lot with the wiper blade and matched it up to a 2015 CRV.
Turns out it was 10mm longer than the mirage's but I cut it with a razor knife to fit and the best part? $9 plus HST
The Honda one is on top.
The honda blade has a thick section at one end,this is the end you cut off.I made it the same length as the other,12".
The new blade will still have a fillet left over from the cutting, it's in the groove the wiper's fingers slide into, I just made a little cut in it and lubed it well with spit....and Bob's yer uncle.
I forgot, the part number is 76732-T0A-003

I had to replace my wipers last year because the stock ones failed. I searched around my local auto parts stores and wound up installing whatever I could get my hands on at the time.
Now parts availability at Rock Auto can be pretty sparse, but they sure do list a lot of wipers. Here's a link to their selection.
Rock Auto - 2015 Mitsubishi Mirage Wipers
If only for comparison shopping, the prices listed are pretty reasonable (well, less than $37.)
Here's a link to a chart for Bosch wipers that Rock Auto says fits our Mirage.
If I understand correctly, the three wiper blades measure as follows (for left hand drive models, anyway):
Location Inches mm Front Left 24" 609.6 Front Right 16" 406.4 Rear 12" 304.8
The rear typically includes both arm and blade.

I bought a pair of Bosch wiper blades from Crappy Tire and while they were up there in the $20 CDN range, they've worked great! If you need the part number, I can look it up but they were Bosch blades with the aerodynamic ridge with silicone blade.
