The claw and knob from our tailgate (Quasimodo) bike rack third arm has fallen off so I’m looking for a replacement, which looks to be a new whole arm.
I’ve found the right part here: https://www.roofracks.co.uk/bike-arm-long/p/6258
However, the claw is a different shape to my current rack, which has overlapping jaws.
This looks to be an arm in the correct length and with the same jaws as my current rack, however, is not for the Thule Wanderway but a tow bar carrier:

The difference is that the tailgate mounts at 30mm and the tow bar at 25mm, so they’re not interchangeable.
Has anyone found a third arm for the VW bike rack with the overlapping jaws? The one in the first link will work fine, would just be a minor annoyance to have claws that don’t match!
