'91 740 Rear Wiper Arm Replacement 700 1991

I recently treated my '91 740 Wagon to a new rear wiper arm from the dealer (couldn't get the old arm to touch the glass surface even with cleaning/lubing the old arm pivot). Anyway, I put the new arm on and realized that the 'u' at the end of the new arm is shorter than on the old arm (maybe a half inch long instead of a full inch). A standard wiper blade will not fit on this new arm!

So I take it to NAPA, and they don't have anything that will fit. I call the dealer, and they tell me that they don't make the arm with the old, longer 'u' any more. Anyone else heard of this? Anyone have a part number for a blade that will fit this new arm so that I don't have to drive all the way back to the dealer for a $22 wiper blade (they will have to order it anyway!!).

Thanks in advance...Pete
