Yes! Sergey is right, there are 2 options for LHD cars for drivers wiper arm, a single arm and a double 'pantograph' arm. As far as I can tell both arms will fit any LHD D2?
I got stung by this earlier in the year when my windscreen got chipped and then cracked all the way up and down.
I have the double wiper arm, which needs more room as it has a swivel joint for the second arm which sticks out further. This crazily requires the windscreen to have a cut-out to clear the joint of the second arm!
I was in a hurry to get it fixed so I ended up paying £615 for a windscreen from Germany that has this cut-out at the bottom, and that was with a 15% discount! Had I had more time I should have bought a used single arm from ebay and just got a UK windscreen (non-thermal) for around £200.
Oh well you live and learn. I think I'll be ordering that single wiper arm to have for next time I need a windscreen, I don't want to pay so much again.
