D2 facelift.....Rear wiper broke off so ordered a replacement (aftermarket) using part number DKB500310. Part turned up but is a different shape to the one I'm replacing (see photo) - much more arched than the original and doesn't sit on the wavy part of the HRW element.
Checked on Allbrit.de and find there's another number - DKB102700. neither arm I have here has a part number on it.
I think DKB500310 supersedes DKB102700 but I don't know if they are a different shape.
Haven't heard back from the vendor yet, but did the D2 change wiper arm shape at any point?

I would hazard a guess , just looking at it on mine, that the more angular one is the one on my FL 2003 MY D2, it sits in line with the bottom edge of the window.

The angle allows it to go around the spare wheel carrier.

EDIT: just looked closer, the shallower one could be the one....LOL.

I take the above back, just been and checked, roughly measured it looks like the arm is at approx ~45 degrees. Difficult to get at behind the spare wheel.

Cheers
 
OK, thanks for checking - If I offer it up to mine, the blade would sit between the wavy element and the lowest straight one. The curve also puts the blade a couple of inches over to the right - not sure if it will catch the bottom edge of the window from there. Fairly sure the one that broke is the original, as opposed to an incorrect replacement!
My neighbour has a D2 anorl, so I'll have a quick squizz at his and see what he's got.
