I have the 2017 hatchback. Went to the dealer to buy the rubber inserts for all 3 wipers but they don't carry them (at least not at THAT dealership). 3 new OEM wiper assemblies are over $75.00 CDN.
Does anyone have part numbers or links to OEM or aftermarket blade inserts?
Thanks for any help.

I have some part numbers as I order the inserts at my local dealer. Also in Canada. They don't carry these blades, but they can easily order. Your dealer doesn't want to because they make more off the whole blade assembly.

FYI these are for a 2015 GS sport (hatch back). It should be the same for you but I have no way to confirm.

Fronts (not sure which is right or left):
BHS8-67-333
BBP2-67-333

Rear blade (for hatch):
E112-67-333

This is a direct replacement for the rear hatch blade. The picture doesn't show, but it's exactly the same as stock. Denso is an OEM supplier for many Japanese cars so I wouldn't be surprised if this is what comes factory from Mazda.

Or if you just want to replace the rubber insert this will work as well:

I usually change my wipers once a year and have used both parts above with no issues.

Just about everybody has gone to replacement blades instead of inserts, which is probably why your dealer only carries blades. As for replacement blades, they can be obtained almost anywhere (auto parts stores, Wally World, etc.).
The hatch wiper needs the plastic part which covers the window base/attachment point temporarily removed. Until it is removed, the arm will not move away from the window far enough to replace the blade. It isn't hard; just spread it far enough to take it off.
