Description

Technical FieldThe present development relates to a fastening arrangement for a window weather strip of a motor vehicle. The development further relates to a motor vehicle door having such a fastening arrangement. In addition, a motor vehicle is provided which has a motor vehicle body equipped with such a fastening arrangement.BackgroundMotor vehicles with lowerable window panes typically have a window shaft for receiving the window pane lowered downward. This is typically formed in a side door of a motor vehicle. For sealing the window shaft, a window shaft strip is typically arranged on a lower edge of the window cutout of the motor vehicle body provided for the fall window pane.A window shaft seal for a door of a motor vehicle is known, for example, from DE 10 2005 022 152 A1. There, a transverse leg projects outwards from a free end region of a connecting leg. This engages behind a shoulder in the region of an inner door part.Common fastening concepts for window weather strips provide for a window weather strip which is approximately U-shaped in cross section to be plugged onto a flange on the vehicle body side which is formed, for example, by a door outer skin and a skin reinforcement. The mounting direction is defined here by the orientation of the flange adjoining the window cutout. Typically, the flange adjacent to the window recess extends upwardly at an angle. It extends approximately parallel to a plane defined by the pane or by the window cutout. The approximately parallel alignment of the flange with respect to the vehicle vertical axis to the pane plane for the fastening of the window weather strip enables the window weather strip to be plugged on from above when the pane has already been installed.Such fastening concepts are known, for example, from DE 10 2005 022 582 A1, DE 10 2005 043 950 A1, DE 20 2008 014 739 U1 or U.S. Pat. No. 9,067,547 B2.This type of mounting, however, has the disadvantage that a minimum structural height of the flange or of the window weather strip, in relation to the vehicle vertical axis (z), cannot be fallen below for mounting and / or manufacturing reasons. This limits the design of the window weather strip.In contrast, the present development is based on the object of providing a novel window weather strip and a fastening arrangement for such a window weather strip which enables a reduction in the overall height of the window weather strip as far as possible while maintaining the body-side connection structure for the window weather strip. The fastening arrangement is to be distinguished by a particularly simple and intuitive mounting of the window weather strip. It is also intended to allow the window weather strip to be mounted on the motor vehicle body when the window pane is already installed.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 matter of the respective dependent patent claims.In this respect, a fastening arrangement for a window weather strip of a motor vehicle is provided. The mounting assembly includes a mounting flange extending along a lower edge of a window opening. This can be a mounting flange on the vehicle body side. At the mounting flange or in the region of the mounting flange, an outer skin and a skin reinforcement of a window duct adjoin one another, forming a flange edge. The mounting flange may be formed by the outer skin and the skin reinforcement. The outer skin and the skin reinforcement can be an outer door panel and a corresponding inner reinforcement.At least one of the outer skin and the skin reinforcement has, at least in sections, a chamfer protruding downward from the flange edge with respect to a motor vehicle vertical axis (z). Furthermore, at least one recess is formed in a transition from the mounting flange and the bevel. This acts as a receptacle for a fastening element for the window weather strip. The recess can be a through opening or an edge recess in the mounting flange. The fastening element can typically be introduced from above into the recess or through-opening in the region of the flange or can be inserted therein.The fastening element can also pass through the cutout and be brought into engagement with an edge of the cutout in order to fasten and / or fix the fastening element to the flanged edge, to the mounting flange and / or to the bent portion. The fastening element can either be connected separately to the window weather strip or can already be connected to the latter. The fastening element can furthermore be connected to the window weather strip in a materially bonded or force-fit manner and / or fixed thereto. Furthermore, the fastening element can also be integrated into the window weather strip.The window weather strip can be provided as a prefabricated component with one or more fastening elements. The window weather strip is mounted and fastened using at least one or more fastening elements arranged in preconfigured fashion on the window weather strip by arranging the at least one or more fastening elements on at least one or more recesses in the transition region of flange edge and beveling and fixing them thereto.A beveling protruding downwards from the flange or from the mounting flange enables a completely novel design of the mounting flange and / or the flange to a great extent while maintaining the mutual mechanical connection of outer skin and skin reinforcement.From the standpoint of assembly technology, it is provided that the downwardly projecting bevel runs approximately parallel to an assembly direction along which the fastening element can be arranged or fixed on the cutout. In particular, the fastening element can be inserted into the recess or inserted into the recess along the mounting direction running parallel to the bevel and can be positively locked there, for example, with a shape fit with an edge of the recess and / or with a counter-locking element of the bevel.The downwardly projecting bent portion enables an orientation of the mounting flange inclined with respect to the vehicle vertical axis. For example, the mounting flange can extend substantially in a plane formed by the vehicle longitudinal axis (x) and the vehicle transverse axis (y). Furthermore, the mounting flange can extend slightly inclined upwards with respect to the x-y plane of the motor vehicle body. The angle of inclination can be, for example, between 5° and 45° or between 10° and 30°. An alignment parallel to the plane of the pane or to the plane of the window shaft is no longer required from now on. The downwardly projecting bent portion advantageously extends parallel to the plane of the pane and / or parallel to the plane of the window shaft.It can be provided in particular that the bent portion extends in an approximately L-shaped manner from the approximately horizontally extending mounting flange downwards. In this respect, the window weather strip can also have a substantially L-shaped cross-sectional profile, wherein an upper leg of the window weather strip abuts an upper side of the mounting flange and wherein a lateral or lower leg of the window weather strip abuts an outer side of the bent portion. The outer side of the bent portion is oriented facing the outer side of the window pane.The downwardly projecting bevel and the recess provided in the transition from bevel and bevel or in the transition from bevel and mounting flange and typically configured in the form of a through-opening also make it possible to mount the fastening element, and consequently to mount the window weather strip prefabricated with the at least one fastening element when a pane is already installed.Furthermore, a part of the recess lies in a plane of the mounting flange and / or in a plane of the flange edge. A further part of the recess lies in a plane of the downwardly projecting bevel. The recess, and thus the through-opening in the region of the mounting flange, can be approximately L-shaped in cross section. The recess can recess a corner region or edge region in the transition from the mounting flange or flange edge into the downwardly projecting bent portion. The recess is thus, for example, a corner recess.That part of the recess which lies in the plane of the mounting flange enables the insertion of a fastening element which then can abut on an inner side of the bevel facing the mounting flange or can engage therewith. This enables a particularly simple, but at the same time also reliable and long-lived fixing of the fastening element to the mounting flange and / or to the bevel.According to a further embodiment, the recess is bounded in the region of the bevel by a front side edge, by a rear side edge and by a lower side edge. The lower side edge connects the front side edge and the rear side edge to each other. The front and the rear side edges are to be referred to the longitudinal extent of the mounting flange and to the longitudinal extent of the window weather strip, respectively. The front side edge may be located forward with respect to the direction of travel of the motor vehicle. The rear side edge may be rearward with respect to the direction of travel of the motor vehicle. The lower side edge forms a lower boundary of the recess, with respect to the motor vehicle vertical axis.The front side edge, the rear side edge and the lower side edge can in particular form an edge-side surround of the cutout. Thus, the recess may comprise a circumferential and uninterrupted frame with the corresponding side edges. Furthermore, the cutout can also have an upper side edge which faces away from the lower side edge or which lies opposite the lower side edge. The mounting flange and the bevel can thus have a closed frame which completely encloses the recess and on the inner side of which the front side edge, the rear side edge, the lower side edge and the upper side edge of the recess are formed.A circumferential frame can provide a particularly stable configuration of the downwardly projecting bevel. A circumferential side edge structure or a circumferential frame structure of the bevel can confer a particularly high stability and / or rigidity on the latter. As a result, a particularly secure and long-lived fixing for the fastening element can be provided.According to a further embodiment of the fastening arrangement, the bevel has a web running in the longitudinal direction of the mounting flange. The web forms a lower boundary for the recess. An inner side of the web facing the recess can coincide with the lower side edge of the recess or form the lower side edge of the recess. A front end portion of the web may form the front side edge of the recess. A rear end portion of the web may form the rear side edge of the recess. The web provides structural reinforcement for the recess, in particular for the edge-side enclosure of the recess.According to a further embodiment, an outer edge of the web facing away from the recess forms a counter-latching element for the fastening element. Furthermore, the outer edge of the web can have a counter-latching element for the fastening element. In typical embodiments, the fastening element is designed as a latching element or the fastening element has a latching element. The fastening element can in particular have a flexibly deformable latching nose which slides along the recess, in particular on the web of the bevel, during assembly and is deflected perpendicularly or obliquely to the assembly direction counter to an inherent restoring force. When a final assembly position is reached, the latching element of the fastening element latches with the counter-latching element. The fastening element and / or the window weather strip connected thereto can be connected in this way in a form-fitting manner to or on the mounting flange and / or to or on the bevel and can be fixed thereto.According to a further embodiment of the fastening arrangement, the mounting flange is formed in the longitudinal direction adjacent to the folded edge by a folded edge of the outer skin and / or by a folded edge of the skin reinforcement. In particular, a flange edge can be formed adjacent to the mounting flange. The flanged edge is formed here, for example, in that an edge of the skin reinforcement facing the window shaft or the window is surrounded by the flanged outer skin. In other embodiments, it can be provided that the skin reinforcement is crimped and encloses an edge of the outer skin which is directed correspondingly toward the window duct and / or toward the window.According to a further embodiment, the mounting flange is free of a flange in the region of the bevelling. Here, instead of a flange of the outer skin or of the skin reinforcement, the downwardly protruding flange can be configured. The bevel can extend approximately at a right angle to the flange. In the longitudinal direction of the mounting flange and adjacent to the chamfer, the mounting flange can have a substantially continuous bead. The mounting flange can have a plurality of downwardly projecting bends arranged distributed in the longitudinal direction, wherein a bend-free zone of outer skin and skin reinforcement is provided locally and in the region of the bends.The mutual flanging of outer skin and skin reinforcement enables a particularly simple, durable and precise joining and fastening of outer skin and skin reinforcement. The flanging and the associated material doubling or triple material layer furthermore lead to a comparatively stable and flexurally rigid mounting flange.According to a further embodiment, the fastening element has an outer fastening leg and an inner fastening leg. The fastening element can be fastened to the recess in a form-fitting manner by means of the outer and / or by means of the inner fastening limb. In particular, the fastening element can be connected in a form-fitting manner with one of its fastening legs on the downwardly projecting bevel, in particular with an edge of the bevel and / or with the web of the bevel, and can be fixed thereto in a form-fitting manner.In particular, the fastening element can be inserted into the recess from above at least in regions and fixed in a latching manner on the recess and / or on the bent portion.The inner fastening leg and the outer fastening leg can be oriented parallel to one another, for example. The inner and outer fastening legs can be configured to be approximately of the same length. The inner and the outer fastening leg can, however, also be formed with different lengths.The inner and the outer fastening leg can furthermore be connected to one another in one piece and in this respect can be formed as sections of a one-piece fastening element. This enables a particularly production-functional production of the fastening leg and a permanent and permanent mutual connection of inner and outer fastening legs.According to a further embodiment, the fastening element can be brought to bear with its inner fastening leg through the cutout and on an inner side of the bevel facing the mounting flange. The inner fastening leg can thus abut the inner side of the bevel. Tilting of the fastening element and / or of the window weather strip connected thereto with respect to a tilting axis running in the longitudinal direction of the mounting flange can thus be effectively counteracted. The contact of the inner fastening leg on the inner side of the bent portion enables a positionally stable positioning of the fastening element and / or of the window weather strip on the mounting flange.According to a further embodiment of the fastening arrangement, the fastening element can be brought to bear with its outer fastening leg against an outer side of the bevel facing away from the mounting flange. This enables a positionally stable and far-reaching tilt-free bearing or positioning of the fastening element on the bevel or on the mounting flange. This makes it possible to effectively counteract tilting of the fastening element and / or of the window weather strip connected thereto with respect to a pivot or tilting axis running in the longitudinal direction of the mounting flange.According to a further embodiment, the inner fastening leg is arranged approximately parallel to the outer fastening leg on the fastening element or aligned thereon. The distance between the inner fastening leg and the outer fastening leg can correspond approximately to the material thickness of the bevel. A receptacle of the fastening element formed between the inner and the outer fastening limb can have a width which is less than or equal to the material thickness of the chamfer. In this way, a clamping and thus force-locking reciprocal mounting of the fastening element and the bevel can also be achieved. In a final assembly configuration, the fastening element can be fixed to the bevel in a clamping manner, for example.According to a further embodiment of the fastening arrangement, the outer fastening leg and the inner fastening leg are each connected to one another at an upper end via a connecting section. The outer fastening leg and the inner fastening leg as well as the connecting section can be embodied in one piece. The fastening element can in particular have a U-shaped cross section, wherein the outer and the inner fastening leg are aligned approximately parallel to one another. The upper ends of the inner and outer fastening legs are connected to one another in one piece or integrally in the region of the connecting portion. Opposite lower ends of the outer and inner fastening legs are free end portions of the respective fastening legs.The downwardly open U-profile-like configuration of the fastening element enables the fastening element to be inserted into or mounted on the cutout along a mounting direction directed from the top downward. The fastening element together with the window shaft strip already arranged thereon can be plugged comparatively easily onto the window shaft or onto the mounting flange and / or onto the downwardly protruding bevel already when the window pane is mounted.According to a further embodiment, a latching element is arranged or formed at a free end of at least one of the inner fastening leg and the outer fastening leg. The latching element can be designed, for example, as a latching nose. The latching lug can in particular have an abutment or supporting surface pointing towards the connecting section, which can in particular be brought to bear against the outer edge of the web. The latching element can fix the fastening element against the mounting direction at the bevel or at the recess of the mounting flange.A support of the fastening element directed in the mounting direction can be effected by supporting the window weather strip on the mounting flange in the mounting direction. The window weather strip and the fastening element can be geometrically designed such that only in the course of a plastic or elastic deformation of the window weather strip, in particular only with a certain or predetermined mounting force or contact pressure acting on the window weather strip and on the mounting flange, positively latches the latching element of the fastening element with the counter-latching element formed on the web.According to a further development, the latching element can be brought into latching engagement in particular with the outer edge of the web. This enables a particularly simple and intuitive mounting of the window weather strip on the mounting flange.The latching element can have a run-on slope at its free end and / or at the free end of the inner and / or outer fastening limb, by means of which the latching element can be deflected perpendicularly or obliquely to the actual mounting direction during the mounting, such that it can be guided past the web in the deflected configuration or position and, when a final mounting position is reached, engages in a latching manner with the lower outer edge of the web. The lateral deflection of the latching element takes place during the assembly process when the insertion or latching slope comes to rest on the lower side edge of the recess, and therefore on an inner side of the web of the bevel.According to a further embodiment, the fastening arrangement has a window weather strip which has an elongate sealing body and at least one or more fastening elements spaced apart from one another in the longitudinal direction of the sealing body. The at least one fastening element or all fastening elements can be fixed to the sealing body and optionally arranged in a non-detachable manner on the sealing body. The non-detachable connection is configured in such a way that a non-destructive detachment of the relevant fastening element from the sealing body can only be effected by means of a destruction of the sealing body and / or of the fastening element.According to a further embodiment, at least one of the fastening elements has a longitudinal extension in the longitudinal direction of the sealing body, which corresponds to the distance between the front and rear side edges of the recess. In this way, an exact arrangement of at least one fastening element on a recess of the fastening arrangement can be effected. Remaining recesses can be designed larger than the relevant extension of the fastening elements, as viewed in the longitudinal direction. By means of at least one standardized fastening element matched with the geometry of the recess in an accurately fitting manner, the window weather strip can be mounted on the mounting flange in a positionally accurate manner. Any component or assembly tolerances can be minimized in this way.According to a further embodiment, the fastening element comprises a thermoplastic material and / or a metal insert. The sealing body comprises an elastomer material. The fastening element can be a plastic injection-molded component. The sealing body can comprise a natural or synthetic rubber or corresponding rubber mixtures. The fastening element has a lower elasticity and a lower flexibility than the sealing body. The fastening element is therefore comparatively stiff and / or hard in comparison to the sealing body. This enables a precise, well-defined and durable fastening of the fastening element to the mounting flange.The fastening element can in particular have a metal insert injection-molded with plastic. The metal insert can impart a required stiffness and / or strength to the fastening element. In particular, partial regions of the fastening element, for example a fastening leg of the fastening element, can also be manufactured entirely from a metal and / or protrude as metal legs from a base material body. Furthermore, the fastening element can be designed as a metal component.According to a further embodiment, it is further provided that the fastening element is embedded in the sealing body or glued to the sealing body. According to a further embodiment, the sealing body is injection-molded or extruded onto the at least one fastening element. For any fastening technique, an inextricable mutual fastening of fastening element and sealing body can be realized.According to a further aspect, the present development relates to a motor vehicle door having a window duct, on the upper edge of which, for example at the height of a motor vehicle belt line, a fastening arrangement described above is formed or arranged.According to a further aspect, the present development further relates to a motor vehicle having a motor vehicle body. The motor vehicle body has a window cutout for a lowerable side window. The window cutout can be located in the region of a motor vehicle door, in particular a pivotable or displaceably mounted side door of the motor vehicle. At the lower edge of the window cutout, a previously described fastening arrangement for the window weather strip is arranged together with a corresponding window weather strip.Brief Description of the FiguresFurther objects, features and advantages of the present development are explained in the following description of exemplary embodiments with reference to the drawings. The following are shown here: FIG. 1 shows a schematic side view of a motor vehicle, FIG. 2 shows a schematic perspective illustration of the mounting flange, adjoining a window pane, of a fastening arrangement for a window weather strip, FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the mounting flange as viewed from the window side, FIG. 4 is a cross-section through the fastening arrangement in the region of the downwardly projecting bent portion, FIG. 5 shows an enlarged illustration of a partial region of the illustration according to FIG. 4, FIG. 6 shows a cross section through the fastening arrangement in a region outside the downwardly projecting bent portion, FIG. 7 shows a further embodiment of the fastening arrangement in cross section through the downwardly projecting bent portion, FIG. 8 shows a further embodiment of the fastening arrangement in a cross section running through the beveling, and FIG. 9 shows a perspective illustration of the fastening element passing through the recess of the bevel.Detailed DescriptionThe motor vehicle 1 schematically illustrated in FIG. 1 has a self-supporting motor vehicle body 2 with a motor vehicle interior 3 delimited by a front windshield 4 in the direction of travel. On the side, the motor vehicle interior 3 is delimited by at least one side door. In the region of the front side door, a lowerable window pane 5 is shown in FIG. 1, which, like the front door, extends in a region between an A-pillar 8 and a B-pillar 6. The lower edge of a window opening 9 in which the window glass 5 is in the raised or closed state can also be regarded as a belt line 7 of the motor vehicle.The motor vehicle body 2, in particular its side doors, has a window compartment 11 into which the window pane 5 can be lowered. In the lower edge region of the window cutout 9, a fastening arrangement 10 is provided, which is illustrated in more detail in FIGS. 2 to 9 in various variants. The fastening arrangement 10 has a mounting flange 18 which is formed by the mutually adjoining edges of an outer skin 12 and an inner skin reinforcement 14. As shown in FIG. 6 in particular, the mounting flange 18 is formed by a flange 16.The flange 16 of the outer skin 12 forms an elongated flange edge 17 which faces the window compartment 11 or the window pane 5. The flange 16 of the outer skin 12 furthermore lies on an approximately horizontal and inwardly extending flange section 42 of the skin reinforcement 14 in the vehicle transverse direction (y). The cross section shown in FIG. 6 shows the flange 16 for the mutual fastening and fixing of outer skin 12 and skin reinforcement 14.In the longitudinal direction of the mounting flange 18, the flange 15 is adjoined by a downwardly projecting chamfer 28, as is shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. The region of the folded edge 28 is separated from the folded edge 15 by a recess 40 on the edge side. This makes it possible to provide the outer skin 12 without a flange in the region of the flange 28 and to form a flange 15 exclusively in the region of the flange 16, which flange simultaneously forms a flange 17 of outer skin 12 and skin reinforcement 14.In the region of the chamfer 28 which projects downwards from the flange edge 17 with respect to the vehicle vertical axis, the outer skin 12 projects in the direction of the window from the inwardly directed edge of the flange section 42 of the skin reinforcement 14 which is directed towards the window. The projecting region is shaped downward in order to form the bevel 28 running approximately parallel to the window pane 5. Laterally, i.e. adjacent to the window pane 5 in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, a panel 80 can furthermore be arranged, as is indicated in FIG. 2, for example.In the transition from the mounting flange 18 running approximately horizontally or inclined at a predetermined angle to the horizontal into the bent portion 28, a recess 20 is formed. The recess 20 is formed as a through-opening in the outer skin 12. A section or partial region of the recess 20 lies in the plane of the mounting flange, thus in the plane or parallel to the plane of the flange section 42 of the skin reinforcement 14. A further partial region of the recess is located in the plane of the chamfer 28 which is set down therefrom.The recess 20 is formed as a through opening. It can have a rectangular or square contour. Thus, the recess 20, viewed in the longitudinal direction of the mounting flange 18, has a front side edge 21 and an opposite rear side edge 22. Laterally or with respect to the vehicle transverse direction (y), the cutout 20 is bounded by an upper side edge 23 and by a lower side edge 24.A fastening element 30 shown in FIGS. 4, 5 and 7 to 9 can be introduced into the recess 20 and fixed there. The fastening element 30 shown in FIG. 9 in a perspective view from below can have an extension, as viewed in the longitudinal direction of the mounting flange 18, which corresponds precisely to a distance between the front side edge 21 and the rear side edge 22. In this way, a precisely fitting mounting of the fastening element 30 on the mounting flange 18 is possible. The fastening element 30 can be fixed to the mounting flange 18 with an exact fit and thus without play, with respect to the longitudinal direction of the mounting flange 18.In further embodiments, the fastening element 30 can have an extension, as viewed in the longitudinal direction of the mounting flange 18, which is at least somewhat shorter than the distance between the front side edge 21 and the rear side edge 22. For a precisely fitting mounting, it can be provided here that, for example, an end side of the fastening element pointing in the longitudinal direction interacts with a front side edge 21 of a first cutout 20 and comes to bear there accordingly. A further fastening element 30 can come to rest with an opposite end face, for example, on the rear side edge 22 of a further cutout 20. In this way, the window weather strip 60 can be mounted without play in the longitudinal direction of the mounting flange 18 by means of two fastening elements 30 spaced apart from one another in the longitudinal direction of the mounting flange 18 at recesses 20 of the mounting flange 18 provided in each case for this purpose.The mounting flange 18, in particular its downwardly projecting bent portion 28, has a frame-like structure enclosing the recess 20. In particular, the lower side edge 24 of the recess 20 can be formed by an inner edge of a web 25 of the bevel 28. This gives the recess 20 some rigidity and strength.As is further illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 5, the fastening element 30 can positively latch with the outer edge 26 of the web 25 facing downward and away from the mounting flange 18. The outer edge 26 of the web 25 can thus form a counter-latching element. Thus, the fastening element 30 can be arranged in a latching or form-fitting manner on the recess 20 or on the bevel 28 and fixed or fastened thereto.The fastening element 30 is illustrated in more detail in particular in the illustration according to FIG. 5. The fastener 30 includes an inner fastener leg 36 and an outer fastener leg 34. The two fastening legs 34, 36 are integrally connected to one another via an upper connecting section 35. The attachment legs 34, 36 may be substantially parallel to each other. The fastening legs 34, 36 can have a U-profile-like cross-sectional contour with the connecting section 35 that is open toward the bottom. Consequently, the inner fastening leg 36 can be brought from above through the recess 20 into the final assembly position shown in FIG. 5.In the final assembly position, an inner side of the inner fastening leg 36 facing the outer fastening leg 34 abuts an inner side 27 of the bent portion 28, in particular an inner side 27 of the web 25. Likewise, an inner side of the outer fastening leg 34, which faces the inner fastening leg 36, can abut an outer side 29 of the bent portion 28 or an outer side 29 of the web 25. The distance between the inner and the outer fastening legs 36, 34 can therefore correspond approximately to the material thickness of the web 25 and / or the chamfer 28. In this way, a clamping and positionally stable positioning and fixing of the fastening element 30 on the bent portion 28 or on the web 25 can take place.In the embodiment according to FIG. 5, the inner fastening leg 36, facing away from the connecting portion 35, has a free end 37. The free end is provided with a latching element 38, in particular with a latching nose. The latching element 38 has a latching slope 39 facing the outer fastening limb 34. During the mounting of the fastening element 30 and the window weather strip 60 typically already connected thereto on the mounting flange 18, the latching slope 39 comes to bear against the inner edge of the web 25. The inner edge of the web 25 simultaneously forms the lower side edge 24 of the recess 20.As soon as the latching slope 39 comes to rest against the web 25, the latching slope 39 brings about an inward pivoting, directed away from the web 25, or a corresponding elastic deformation of the inner fastening limb 36.The fastening element 30 is typically firmly connected to the window weather strip 60 shown in cross section in FIG. 4, for example. The window weather strip 60 can have a mounting extension 62 or a mounting strip 64, which can be manufactured from a comparatively hard and / or stable plastic. The mounting extension 62 or the mounting strip 64 are shown in cross section according to FIG. 6. The window weather strip 60 further comprises a sealing body 72 comprising an elastomer material, typically a natural or synthetic rubber mixture.The sealing body 72 can be designed to be approximately L-shaped in cross section. An inner side of the sealing body 72 is typically connected to the mounting extension 62 or the mounting strip 64. The sealing body 72 can be injection-molded or extruded onto the dimensionally stable mounting strip 64, for example. The fastening element 30 can be integrally connected to the mounting strip 64 or integrated therein. However, the fastening element 30 can also be arranged separately therefrom and separately on the sealing body 72. The sealing body 72 has an upper sealing lip 78, which is supported at the top or on the top side of the mounting flange 18 in the final mounting position shown in FIG. 6. The sealing body 72 can furthermore have one or more sealing lips 74, 76, which can be sealingly brought into engagement with the outer side of the window pane 5.The seal body 72 has a predetermined elasticity. The sealing body 72 and the mounting flange 18, its recess 20 and the fastening element 30 can be geometrically coordinated with one another in such a way that the upper sealing lip 78 already comes to bear against the upper side of the mounting flange 18 before reaching the final mounting position of the fastening element 30 shown in FIG. 4. For final assembly, it is then necessary to extend the upper sealing lip 78 or at least slightly deform it, so that the latching element 38 can engage with the counter latching element formed on the outer edge 26. In this way, a particularly good, durable arrangement of the sealing lip 78 on the mounting flange 18 is made possible, which arrangement provides an adequate sealing function.In the further embodiment shown in FIG. 7, the fastening element 30 is slightly modified in comparison with the fastening element shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. Here, the outer fastening leg 34 has at its free end 37 the latching element 38 designed as a latching nose with a corresponding latching slope 39. When the fastening element 30 is introduced along the mounting or mounting direction 31, the outer fastening leg 34 is consequently deflected outwards until it latches positively with the outer edge 26 of the web 25 with or when the final mounting configuration is reached.In the further embodiment according to FIG. 8, a variant is shown in which the downwardly projecting bent portion 28 is formed not by the outer skin 12 but by the skin reinforcement 14. Consequently, the recess 20 is formed exclusively in an edge extension of the skin reinforcement, which protrudes from an edge of the outer skin 12 resting on the flange section 42 facing the window.
