Description

Technical area

[0001] The present development relates to a fastening arrangement for a window channel strip of a motor vehicle. Furthermore, the development relates to a motor vehicle door with such a fastening arrangement. Furthermore, a motor vehicle is provided which has a motor vehicle body equipped with such a fastening arrangement. background

[0002] Motor vehicles with lowerable windows typically have a window recess for accommodating the lowered window. This recess is typically formed in a side door of a motor vehicle. To seal the window recess, a window recess strip is typically arranged at the lower edge of the window recess in the vehicle body intended for the drop-down window.

[0003] A vehicle door with an outer door skin that defines a window opening at the bottom, a pillar that defines the window opening at the sides, and a window sill is known, for example, from DE 10 2016 001 243 A1. There, it is provided that an upper edge of the outer door skin and a hook protruding from the pillar are inserted into a groove of a window sill.

[0004] Furthermore, GB 851 521 A discloses a drawn strip with a continuous clip having a substantially U-shaped cross-section. FR 2 865 969 A1 discloses a wiper seal for the window of a motor vehicle door, and US 7 900 993 B2 shows a door frame of a motor vehicle door with a frame strip.

[0005] Common fastening concepts for window channel moldings involve attaching a window channel molding with a roughly U-shaped cross-section to a body-side flange, such as one formed by an outer door skin and a skin reinforcement. The direction of attachment is determined by the orientation of the flange adjacent to the window recess. Typically, the flange adjacent to the window recess is angled upwards. It extends approximately parallel to a plane defined by the window pane or the window recess. The almost parallel alignment of the flange to the window plane for attaching the window channel molding, relative to the vehicle's vertical axis, allows the window channel molding to be attached from above while the window pane is already installed.

[0006] However, this type of installation has the disadvantage that, for technical reasons, a minimum height of the flange or window channel strip relative to the vehicle's vertical axis (z) cannot be undercut. This limits the design of the window channel strip.

[0007] In contrast, the present development is based on the task of providing a novel window channel molding and a fastening arrangement for such a window channel molding that enables a reduction in the overall height of the window channel molding while, if possible, maintaining the body-side connection structure for the window channel molding. The fastening arrangement is intended to be characterized by particularly simple and intuitive installation of the window channel molding. Furthermore, it is intended to enable the window channel molding to be mounted on the vehicle body with the window pane already installed.

[0008] This object is achieved with a fastening arrangement and with a motor vehicle according to the features of the independent patent claims. Advantageous embodiments are the subject of the respective dependent patent claims.

[0009] In this respect, a fastening arrangement for a window channel strip of a motor vehicle is provided. The fastening arrangement comprises a mounting flange running along a lower edge of a window recess. This can be a body-side mounting flange. The fastening arrangement further comprises at least one fastening element. The fastening element has a fastening section and a mounting section. The fastening section and mounting section are arranged so as not to overlap one another.

[0010] The fastening section can be plugged onto the mounting flange. When the fastening section is plugged onto the mounting flange, the mounting section intended for mounting the window channel trim is located below the mounting flange relative to the vehicle's vertical axis (z). The mounting section and the fastening section are thus offset from one another relative to the installation position on the vehicle and relative to the vehicle's vertical axis (z).

[0011] In terms of installation position, the mounting section is slightly lower than the fastening section. This creates a mounting option for the window channel molding that is slightly lower than the mounting flange of the window recess, namely below the mounting flange. This allows for a reduction in the overall height of the window channel molding. Compared to previous fastening concepts, this molding can be reduced in height and designed with a much more delicate finish. This allows any design requirements placed on the window channel molding to be easily implemented.

[0012] The fastening element can be a plastic component or a metal component. The fastening element can be designed, for example, as a plastic injection-molded body. The fastening element can be designed and implemented as a one-piece injection-molded body. The fastening element can be arranged or fastened to the mounting flange at any time after completion of the motor vehicle body, but typically before installation of a window pane. After installation of the window pane, the attachment and fastening of the window channel strip to the designated mounting section of the fastening element is then provided and possible.

[0013] It is provided that the window channel strip can be fastened to the mounting flange exclusively via the mounting section provided by the fastening element or several fastening elements. The mounting flange originally intended for mounting the window channel strip is displaced downwards, relative to the vehicle's vertical axis (z), by fastening one or more fastening elements to the mounting flange for the window channel strip. Since the fastening section of the fastening element and the mounting section of the fastening element are designed without overlap, the requirement to align the mounting flange, relative to the vehicle's vertical axis (z), approximately parallel to the window pane or parallel to the plane of the window pane can also be eliminated.

[0014] The mounting flange extends toward its edge facing the window recess at a predetermined angle greater than 0° to the plane of the window recess. In particular, the mounting flange can be angled toward a horizontal line relative to the plane of the window recess.

[0015] The edge of the mounting flange facing the window recess further comprises at least one cutout or recess to which the fastening section of the fastening element can be fixed in the longitudinal direction of the mounting flange.

[0016] The angle between the mounting direction and the plug-on direction corresponds approximately to the angle of the alignment of the mounting flange to the plane of the window pane or the plane of the window recess.

[0017] The fastening section defines a direction of attachment to the mounting flange. Furthermore, the mounting section defines a direction of attachment for the window channel strip on the fastening element. The attachment direction preferably does not extend parallel to the mounting direction. Therefore, the attachment direction extends diagonally to the mounting direction, or at a specified angle greater than 0° and less than 90° to the mounting direction.

[0018] The fastening direction and / or the mounting direction is determined by the orientation of the respective fastening legs or mounting legs. The insertion direction extends essentially parallel to the fastening legs. The mounting direction extends essentially parallel to the extension of the mounting legs. The extension of the fastening leg and mounting leg refers to an extension in the direction from the connecting area of ​​the first and second legs toward their free ends.

[0019] The fastening element not only enables a reduction in the overall height or the geometric dimensions of the window channel strip, but it also enables a much more variable design of the mounting flange of the vehicle body.

[0020] According to a further development, the fastening section has a first fastening leg and a second fastening leg. The first fastening leg and the second fastening leg form a fastening receptacle for the mounting flange. The first fastening leg and the second fastening leg are typically integrally connected to one another at one end. With respect to an opposite longitudinal end, the first fastening leg and the second fastening leg are arranged or aligned at a distance from one another.

[0021] The first and second mounting legs can run essentially parallel to each other. They are typically spaced apart by a distance corresponding to the thickness of the mounting flange. The mounting receptacle is typically open at the bottom or diagonally downwards.

[0022] The alternating and / or integral connection of the first fastening leg and the second fastening leg is located at an upper end of the fastening section. This allows the fastening element to be pushed or pushed from top to bottom onto the mounting flange, which protrudes with its free end upwards or diagonally upwards. The connecting area of ​​the first and second fastening legs can form an end stop for the push-on movement and define a final assembly position for the fastening element in the direction of the mounting flange.

[0023] According to a further embodiment, the mounting section has a first mounting leg and a second mounting leg. The first mounting leg and the second mounting leg form a mounting receptacle for the window shaft strip. The first mounting leg and the second mounting leg can also be aligned parallel to one another. The first mounting leg and the second mounting leg can be connected to one another in one piece. The first mounting leg and the second mounting leg can, for example, form a U-profile, thus forming a substantially U-shaped mounting receptacle for the window shaft strip. The window shaft strip can typically be inserted or plugged into the fastening receptacle with a mounting extension or with a mounting strip.The distance between the first mounting leg and the second mounting leg essentially corresponds to the thickness or strength of the mounting extension or the mounting strip of the window shaft strip.

[0024] The first and second mounting legs are typically connected to one another at their lower ends, relative to the subsequent installation position and the vehicle's vertical axis (z). They are typically connected to one another continuously and without interruption.

[0025] The fastening receptacle and the mounting receptacle can be connected to one another in one piece. For example, the first leg of the fastening section can be connected in one piece to the first leg of the mounting section, or the first fastening leg can merge into the first mounting leg. The second mounting leg can be arranged or formed on a side of the first mounting leg facing away from the fastening section. The same can also apply to the second fastening leg. The second fastening leg can be arranged or formed on a side of the first fastening leg facing away from the mounting section.

[0026] According to a further embodiment, the fastening element can be designed as a profile element. The fastening section and / or the mounting section can be designed in the manner of a profile section with a cross-section that is essentially unchanged in the longitudinal direction of the profile.

[0027] According to a further embodiment, the plug-on direction extends at an angle of 15° to 60°, at an angle of 20° to 55° or at an angle of 30° to 35° to the mounting direction.

[0028] Due to the non-parallel or oblique course of the insertion and installation directions, and the associated design of the fastening section and the installation section, it is no longer necessary to angle the mounting flange upwards along or parallel to the window pane or in a direction that extends essentially parallel to the plane of the window recess. Instead, a much flatter design of the mounting flange can be realized, for example, inclined toward a horizontal plane relative to the plane of the window pane.

[0029] The fastening element can be attached to the mounting flange along the flange direction even before a pane is installed. The mounting direction, which is determined by the fastening element, in particular by its mounting section, can still extend approximately parallel to the plane of the window pane or parallel to the plane of the window recess. This allows the window channel strip to be mounted along a plane defined by the window pane when the window pane is installed.

[0030] According to a further embodiment, the mounting flange is formed by a flanged portion of the outer skin and / or by a flanged portion of the skin reinforcement. In particular, the mounting flange can be configured as a flanged edge. The outer skin can be flanged around an edge of the skin reinforcement that extends toward the window recess. The outer skin, in particular the flanged edge of the outer skin, can completely or partially enclose an edge portion of the skin reinforcement facing the window recess.

[0031] The fastening element, in particular its fastening section, can be plugged onto the flanged edge provided on the body side and fixed thereto.

[0032] According to a further embodiment of the fastening arrangement, the first fastening leg has a projection at its free end that projects towards the second fastening leg. When the fastening element is in the assembled position on the mounting flange, the projection is typically located on the shoulder of the flanged edge formed by the flanging. In particular, the projection of the first fastening leg can engage in a form-fitting manner with the edge inevitably created by the flanging process, at which edge the flanged edge transitions from a doubling of material to a triple layer of material. This prevents the fastening element from becoming loose in the opposite direction to the insertion direction during vehicle assembly. Once the window channel strip has been installed on the fastening element, the sealing contact with the window secures it against loosening from the mounting flange.

[0033] According to a further embodiment, at least one of the first mounting leg and the second mounting leg has a locking element that projects towards the other of the first mounting leg and the second mounting leg. The locking element can be brought into positive engagement with a counter-locking element formed on the window shaft strip. The counter-locking element can be, for example, a recess or through-opening in the region of a mounting extension or a mounting strip of the window shaft strip, wherein the mounting extension or the mounting strip can be introduced or inserted into the mounting receptacle formed by the first and second mounting legs. The positive locking of the locking element and the counter-locking element can fix the position of the window shaft strip on the fastening element and thus also on the mounting flange.

[0034] According to a further embodiment, the first mounting leg and the second mounting leg, relative to the vehicle's vertical axis, form the mounting receptacle of the mounting section, which is open at the top and has a U-shaped cross-section. An upwardly open U-shaped mounting receptacle allows the insertion or introduction of a mounting extension or a mounting strip of the window channel strip from top to bottom, particularly when the window is already arranged or installed on the body.

[0035] The first and second fastening legs of the fastening element can be configured with different lengths relative to the longitudinal direction of the mounting flange. One of the first and second fastening legs can be configured larger or longer than the edge recess of the mounting flange relative to the longitudinal direction of the mounting flange. The other of the first and second fastening legs of the fastening element, however, can be configured smaller or shorter than the edge recess of the mounting flange. In this case, the respective leg can, so to speak, lock into the recess of the mounting flange and define a positioning of the fastening element relative to the longitudinal direction of the mounting flange.

[0036] According to a further embodiment, the mounting flange has a plurality of regular or irregular, but spaced-apart, edge-side recesses. One of the previously described fastening elements can be arranged or secured in each of these recesses with its respective fastening section. For precise assembly that complies with specified installation tolerances, at least one of the fastening elements can be inserted with a fastening leg into the edge-side recess of the mounting flange. In this way, a precise arrangement and fixation of the fastening element, and thus also of the window channel strip, on the mounting flange can be provided, corresponding to the required assembly tolerances.

[0037] Likewise, at least one fastening element, typically a previously described reference fastening element, can also have a locking element that is precisely designed to fit the counter-locking element of the window channel strip. Relative to the longitudinal direction of the mounting flange, the counter-locking element can, for example, have a recess whose size or length corresponds exactly to the corresponding size or length of the locking element. In this way, the window channel strip can be arranged on the fastening element with largely no play, at least in the longitudinal direction of the mounting flange. As already described, the fastening element, in turn, can be attached to the mounting flange with largely no play, relative to the longitudinal direction of the mounting flange.

[0038] This enables particularly simple, accurate and tolerance-minimized installation of the window channel strip on the vehicle body.

[0039] According to a further embodiment, a strut is arranged at least partially between the mounting section and the fastening section of the fastening element. By means of a strut, any forces acting on the window channel strip during assembly or even when the window channel strip is installed can be diverted into the fastening section and ultimately into the mounting flange. The strut provides a particularly stable and torsion-resistant design of the fastening element.

[0040] According to a further embodiment of the fastening arrangement, the window channel strip has a mounting extension and a sealing body. When the mounting extension is inserted into the mounting section, the sealing body covers an outer side of the fastening section. Thus, the fastening section, viewed from the outside, is completely covered by the sealing body. It is not visible from the outside.

[0041] The mounting extension can be an injection-molded component or an injection-molded component of the window channel strip. The sealing body can also be an injection-molded component and / or an extruded component. The sealing body typically comprises one or more elastomer materials. It can be brought into sealing contact with the window and / or with the outer skin of the vehicle body. The window channel strip can have a multi-component structure. The window channel strip can have a comparatively hard and inelastic mounting extension, on which a comparatively soft and elastically deformable sealing body is arranged. The mutual attachment of the mounting extension and the sealing body can be achieved, for example, by welding or gluing. It is also conceivable for the sealing body to be injection-molded or extruded onto the mounting extension.

[0042] According to a further embodiment, the sealing body has a receptacle for a decorative element on an outer portion. For this purpose, the sealing body can, for example, have a groove extending in the longitudinal direction of the profile or a corresponding projection, which can be brought into positive engagement with a corresponding projection or groove of the decorative element.

[0043] The decorative element can be designed, for example, as a decorative panel. The decorative element can be made, for example, as a metal strip, for example, from stainless steel or aluminum. Furthermore, the decorative element can comprise a plastic component or consist of a plastic component with a surface finish that meets the specified design requirements. The decorative element can, for example, be matte, glossy, or highly reflective. The decorative element can, in particular, be designed as a profile with a C-shaped cross section, which can be positively fastened to the outer section of the sealing body with its opposite, inwardly flanged ends and corresponding longitudinally extending grooves.

[0044] According to a further aspect, the present development relates to a motor vehicle door with a window shaft, on the upper edge of which, approximately at the level of a motor vehicle belt line, a fastening arrangement as described above is formed or arranged.

[0045] According to a further aspect, the present development further relates to a motor vehicle with a motor vehicle body. The motor vehicle body has a window recess for a lowerable side window. The window recess can be located in the area of ​​a motor vehicle door, in particular a pivotably or displaceably mounted side door of the motor vehicle. A previously described fastening arrangement for the window channel strip, together with a corresponding window channel strip, is arranged at the lower edge of the window recess.

Detailed description

[0047] The Fig. The motor vehicle 1 schematically shown in Figure 1 has a self-supporting motor vehicle body 2 with a motor vehicle interior 3 delimited in the direction of travel by a windscreen 4. The motor vehicle interior 3 is delimited to the sides by at least one side door. In the area of ​​the front side door, Fig. 1 shows a lowerable window pane 5 which, like the front door, extends in an area between an A-pillar 8 and a B-pillar 6. The lower edge of a window recess 9, in which the window pane 5 is located in the raised or closed state, can also be considered the belt line 7 of the motor vehicle.

[0048] The motor vehicle body 2, in particular its side doors, has a window shaft into which the window pane 5 can be lowered. In the lower edge area of ​​the window recess 9, a Fig. 2 to 14. The fastening arrangement 10 has a mounting flange 18, which is formed by the adjacent edges of an outer skin 12 and an inner skin reinforcement 14. As shown in particular in the Fig. 2 and Fig. 5, the mounting flange 18 is formed by a flange 16.

[0049] An edge of the skin reinforcement 14, which projects obliquely upwards and is directed toward the lower edge of the window recess 9, is enclosed by an inwardly folded or flanged edge of the outer skin 12. The flanged edge 17, relative to the vertical axis (z) of the motor vehicle, is inclined toward the horizontal relative to the window pane 5. Therefore, the flanged edge 17 of the mounting flange 18, which projects slightly upwards and toward the pane 5 at least relative to the horizontal, does not extend parallel to the window pane 5.

[0050] As particularly in the Fig. 5, Fig. 10 and Fig. 11, recesses 20, 120 are provided at regular or irregular intervals in the area of ​​the upwardly inclined edge 17 of the mounting flange 18. These serve for the installation of a fastening element 30, 130, as described separately in the Fig. 3 and Fig. 12. The Fig. The fastening element 30 shown in Figure 3 has a fastening section 32 and a mounting section 42. The fastening section 32 forms a fastening receptacle 33 that opens obliquely downward. The fastening section 32 further has a first fastening leg 34 and a second fastening leg 36. The first and second fastening legs 34, 36 are arranged substantially parallel to one another. The width or clear width of the fastening receptacle 33 formed thereby substantially corresponds to the thickness of the flange 16 of the mounting flange 18.

[0051] Therefore, the alignment and the concrete design of the fastening legs 34, 36 defines a mounting direction 31, which Fig. 8. The first fastening leg 34 merges into the second fastening leg 36 in an approximately U-shaped manner. The fastening receptacle 33, which is open downwards or diagonally downwards, enables the fastening element 30 to be plugged onto the mounting flange 18 along the Fig. 8 shown mounting direction 31.

[0052] As particularly in Fig. As shown in Figure 8, the first fastening leg 34 has a projection 38 at its free end 37 that projects inward toward the second fastening leg 36. This projection 38 can virtually lock into the inner flanged edge 15, so that automatic release of the fastening element 30 on the mounting flange 18 is blocked or prevented.

[0053] At least one of the first and second fastening legs 34, 36 has a width in the longitudinal direction of the mounting flange 18 that corresponds to the clear width of the recess 20 in the mounting flange 18. In other words, for example, the extension of the first fastening leg 34 in the longitudinal direction of the mounting flange 18 is less than or equal to the distance between the Fig. 5 shown first side edge 21 and second side edge 22 of the recess 20 of the flanged edge or the mounting flange 18. In this way, the fastening element 30 can be fixed with respect to the longitudinal direction of the mounting flange 18 or can lock positively with the recess 20.

[0054] The mounting section 42 has a first mounting leg 44 and a second mounting leg 46. The first mounting leg 44 and the second mounting leg 46 can be aligned substantially parallel to one another. On an inner side of the first mounting leg 44 facing the second mounting leg 46, a flexible or flexibly movable locking element 48 is provided, which projects inward into the space between the mounting legs 44, 46. The locking element 48 is designed to be Fig. 4 shown counter-locking element 68 of the window slot strip 60, this is particularly the case when the window slot strip 60 engages with a downwardly projecting profile-like mounting extension 62, which can be designed as a straight mounting strip 64.

[0055] At an upwardly projecting free end of the second mounting leg 46, an inwardly sloping insertion bevel 47 is formed, which simplifies insertion of the mounting strip 64 or the mounting extension 62 of the window shaft strip 60.

[0056] The extension of the locking element 48 in the longitudinal direction of the mounting flange 18 typically corresponds to the clear width of the counter-locking element 68, in particular the clear width or length of the recess 70 in the longitudinal direction of the profile. In this way, a positionally accurate mounting of the window channel strip 60 on the fastening element 30 can be achieved, at least with respect to the longitudinal direction of the profile.

[0057] As further stated in Fig. 8, the mounting section 42 defines a mounting direction 41 for the window shaft strip, in particular for its mounting extension 62 or for its mounting strip 64. As can be seen from a comparison of the arrows 41, 31 symbolizing the respective mounting or plug-on directions according to Fig. As can be seen from Figure 8, the mounting direction 41 extends obliquely and thus not parallel to the insertion direction. The mounting direction 41 for the window channel strip 60 extends essentially parallel to the fall line of the window pane 5. The insertion direction 31 for attaching the fastening element to the mounting flange extends essentially along the flange and perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the flange 18.

[0058] A strut 35 can be formed between the first mounting leg 44 and the first fastening leg 34. This can impart particularly high strength to the fastening element 30 while simultaneously maintaining low weight. The strut 35 can, in particular, contribute to increasing the torsional rigidity of the fastening element 30.

[0059] As can be seen from the illustration according to Fig. As can be seen in Figure 8, the mounting section 42 is located below the mounting flange 18 relative to the vehicle's vertical axis (z). This allows the overall height, in particular the extension of the window channel strip 60 in the direction of the vehicle's vertical axis (z), to be reduced compared to conventional arrangements. The overall height of the window channel strip 60, in particular its sealing body 72, which essentially completely covers the fastening section 32, can be advantageously reduced without requiring modifications to the sheet metal structure of the vehicle body 2.

[0060] The window shaft strip 60 can be designed as a multi-component component. It can have a comparatively hard and inflexible mounting extension 62 or an elongated mounting strip 64. The mounting strip 64 can, as in Fig. 4, can be designed as a double-walled unit. A first strip section 66 can, for example, be provided with the recess 70 forming the counter-locking element 68. A second strip section 67 arranged to overlap this recess can close the recess 70 designed as a through-opening in the first strip section 66. The first strip section 66 can, for example, be designed as an injection-molded component. The second strip section can be designed as an extruded component. The first and second strip sections 66, 67 can be made of the same or different materials, in particular of a thermoplastic.

[0061] As particularly in Fig. 4, the first strip section 66 merges upwards into a U-shaped profile section 69 that is bent or curved to the side or U-shaped downwards. The upper profile section 69 is completely covered by the sealing body 72. The sealing body 72 has an outer section 74 and an inner section 76. As shown particularly in Fig. As shown in Figure 8, the outer section 74 of the sealing body covers the profile section 69. The inner section 76 of the sealing body 72 sealingly engages an outer side of the pane 5. A flocking 78 is located on the outside of the outer section 74, which rests against the outer side of the pane 5.

[0062] In Fig. 9 shows a variant of the sealing body 72. On the outer section 74 projecting over or covering the profile section 69, there is a receptacle 79 for arranging a separate decorative element 80 on the outside of the sealing body 72. For this purpose, the outer section 74 has a first groove 81 and a second groove 82. The decorative element 80, designed, for example, as a metal profile, has inwardly projecting projections 83, 84 at its outer profile ends, which, on the one hand, give the decorative element 80 a C-shaped cross-sectional profile when viewed in cross-section. The projections 83, 84 engage in the grooves 81, 82 extending longitudinally along the sealing body 72.

[0063] As further stated in Fig. 10, the mounting flange 18 can be used in the Fig. 10 shown on the left, for example, border on an A-pillar 8 or B-pillar 6. Adjacent to such pillars, a flange, such as in the Fig. 2 and Fig. 5, can no longer be performed, since a flanging tool required to form the flanging cannot be used adjacent to a column 6, 8, or cannot be used to the required extent. To this extent, the outer skin 12 has a tab 118 projecting inward beyond the skin reinforcement 14.

[0064] In the area of ​​the tab 118, which is virtually equivalent to the previously described mounting flange 18, individual or multiple recesses 120 are provided. These also have opposite side edges 121, 122, which are spaced apart from each other in such a way that a fastening element 130, specifically dimensioned for those recesses 120, can be inserted into the recesses 120, as shown in FIG. Fig. 12, can be used there.

[0065] The fastening element 130 as shown in Fig. 12, corresponds functionally and geometrically approximately to the one shown in Fig. 3. Therefore, all geometrically similar and / or functionally equivalent components and sections of the fastening element 130 are provided with the same reference numerals compared to those of the fastening element 30, but increased by the number 100. Unless otherwise described, the individual components and sections of the fastening element 130 have the same function as those with respect to Fig. 3 described components and sections.

[0066] The fastening element 130 has a fastening section 132 and a mounting section 142. The fastening section 132 is formed by fastening legs 134, 136 that run approximately parallel to one another and define a fastening receptacle 133 between them. A free end 137 of the first fastening leg 134 is provided with an inwardly projecting projection 138. The mounting section 142 has first and second mounting legs 144, 146, wherein an inwardly projecting locking element 148 configured in the manner of a locking lug is formed on the first mounting leg 144 and is pivotably or deformably mounted thereon.

[0067] The fastening element 130, in contrast to the fastening element 30, does not have a strut 35. Instead, in the Fig. 13 and Fig.In the assembly position shown in Figure 14, an outer side of the first mounting leg 144 facing away from the second mounting leg 146 directly abuts the outer side of the outer skin 12 facing away from the skin reinforcement 14. In this respect, the second mounting leg 146 rests directly against the not completely flanged skin reinforcement 14.

[0068] The fastening elements 130 are intended exclusively for arrangement in or on recesses 120 in an area adjacent to a pillar 6, 8 of the motor vehicle body 2. The fastening element 30 is intended exclusively for recesses 20 that are spaced apart from such pillar sections and that are provided with a flanged edge or a flange 16.

[0069] To avoid assembly errors, it can be provided that the geometric dimensions of the fastening element 130 are precisely matched to the geometric dimensions of the recess 120 and adapted thereto. Likewise, the geometric dimensions of the fastening element can be adapted to those of the recess 20 and adapted thereto. Thus, the recesses 20 can be coded to the fastening elements 30, and the recesses 120 can be coded to the fastening elements 130, and vice versa. Confusion during final motor vehicle assembly or incorrect arrangement, for example, of fastening elements 130 to recesses 20 or of fastening elements 30 to recesses 120, can be effectively avoided in this way.
