I bought a set of the Bosch Aero Twin blades today from Super Cheap ($22.99 each). According to their catalog these don't fit the MX-5. However like others have found they fit perfectly to my NA. The only trick was to remove the metal plate on the drivers side wipe arm that stops the wiper blade from lifting at speed, fit the new blade and then re-fit the metal plate.
Bosch part number BBA450.
Now I just need to wait for some rain to try them out.

Yes I can definitely confirm that this is for keeping the wipers from lifting

Maybe...I'll never know because cats are unable to get into my locked garage.
However, the point of lifting was unfortunately proven late one night several years ago after the new turbo/tune and over 200 rwkw.....

Re: Windscreen & Wipers - NA & NB
I wonder if with the lower profile of the beam blades the aero aid is still needed.
