Thanks for clearing that up, so the wrong thread is about a lost cap on the wiper blade and the inability to buy just the end cap from the dealer. In this case, I would go with oem wipers since I hate adaptors on wiper arm assembly.
You may have to excuse my tenacity , there is no adaptor if/when you can find a seller with the right wiper blades , such as this one attached.

I was looking at those. Amazon sells a pair similar. But like I said, I didn’t want to wait for delivery from Asia and take a chance on quality.
My beef still is why Lexus would choose to make things difficult for NX owners. If I remember correctly, the big brother RX series had front wipers listed on the wiper fitment guides at the parts store making me believe the wiper attachment is more universal.

Its not Lexus making things difficult, its the wiper manufacturers who think Lexus doesn't sell enough NX to justify listing them on their guide or designing a wiper that will fit without additional brackets. By the way, the bracket on that refresh wiper is pretty ugly compare to the Lexus one. I think I will stick with the Lexus blades.

I don't mean to argue, but how do you know this, is it a fact? I just don't understand your logic, as I don't think Lexus designed the wiper arms with 19mm square holes, as they are not in the business to design, manufacture and supply ... wiper arms? I'd think they just made an executive decision to go with those wiper arms and blades design for whatever reasons (selling more expensive replacement parts? pure speculation as I don't know this for a fact).

Low volume models usually have less aftermarket products to choose from, its simply demand and supply. Lexus specified the wiper design and vendors supplies it. I am not sure who makes the Lexus blades, the German blades are usually made by Bosch, not sure who the Japanese oem supplies are for wipers.
Hi everyone, I'm in the same boat as the OP. I noticed one of the end caps went missing (have no idea where it went) There are wiper blades on autozone and advance auto parts.. Are these not compatible? Autozone passenger wiper for NX200T. I would rather not buy new blade inserts and an entirely new blade assembly if I don't have to. I'm not too impressed with the stock blades in the first place. Thanks for any help!
Amazon screen captures.
How about these? They look similar to the factory ones on my NX and are probably the same thing Rackauto is selling at a lower price (but shipping will not be free).
