My guess is a wiper extension for the thicker armored windshield glass?
I haven't seen one with my own eyes yet.
Does it have a set screw on it somewhere?

Who ever designed these things was a psychopath.
Hard to use new. Need two hands to loosen when soiled. Break easily. It has more modes of failure than moving parts....which is quite an accomplishment in itself. And the strap is usually to wide to go through the stupid "thing" on the body and...
