Embodiment Construction

[0029] Such as figure 1 and figure 2 As shown, the assembly 2 includes a body panel 4 and a headlight cleaning device 6 , and the headlight cleaning device 6 is installed on the body panel 4 for cleaning the lighting headlight 8 .

[0030] The body panel 4 has opposing outer and inner surfaces 4A, 4B. The outer surface 4A is intended to be visible towards the outside of the motor vehicle. The body panel 4 is provided with a through opening 10 extending between the outer surface 4A and the inner surface 4B.

[0031] The body panel 4 is the outer shell panel of the motor vehicle, which defines the outer shape of the motor vehicle. The body panel 4 is, for example, a skin covering the front bumper of a front bumper assembly of a motor vehicle for at least partially absorbing the energy of a head-on impact.

[0032] The headlights 8 are, for example, headlights for illuminating the road ahead of the motor vehicle. The headlights 8 comprise, in a manner known in the art, one ...

Abstract

The method involves using a centering part (32) that includes a centering portion (36) with an orifice (28) of a fixing bracket (12). The bracket is provided for passage of a movable operating part of a functional element i.e. retractable tube. Another centering portion (38) is arranged with a fitting opening (10). The fitting opening is provided in a panel lining (4) for passage of the functional element through a cover plate for centering the bracket relative to the opening. The bracket is fixed against the panel lining by utilizing a press. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a centering part (2) a vehicle assembly.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an assembly comprising a vehicle panel and a functional component comprising a retractable functional part movable through an opening in the panel. [0002] The invention relates in particular to an assembly comprising a headlight washer device (functional component) comprising retractable nozzles for spraying washer fluid which are movable through openings in the body panels of the vehicle, in particular bumper skins ( function section). Background technique [0003] The nozzle can be equipped with a flap which closes the opening when the nozzle is retracted. For reasons of aesthetics and user-perceived quality, it is desirable to ensure centering of the valve relative to the opening. [0004] Also, when the headlight washer system is available as an optional feature, all bumper shells can be made without openings for the retractable nozzles and only on bumpers for vehicles equipped with the headlight washer system Punched ...
