You can buy new '98 through '07 arms to fit your '08...

Use of the earlier wiper arms will allow you to use almost any aftermarket blade of appropriate length. If the '08 and '09 blades weren't so attractive I would have done that in lieu of purchasing the correct blades from Europe.
Used wiper arms from a salvaged vehicle are also a possibility.
Time may force me to return to the J-hook style arms but I hope other manufacturers will adopt the apparently exclusive Saab arm design, and obtaining replacement blades will no longer be an issue. The Valeo BMW top lock style blade attachment is so close to the Saab style, and is available on Bosch Icon blades. They may fit our cars.
