Claim 0:
1. A side window for a vehicle, having a first surface, a second surface opposite thereto, and a lower edge, and having at least one retaining element attached in a region of the lower edge,
wherein the retaining element has a contact section with a contact surface which faces toward the first surface for securing to the side window and a securing section connected to the contact section for securing to the vehicle, and
wherein the retaining element is secured to the side window on only one main side of the side window, by connecting the contact surface to the first surface via an adhesive arranged at least in a central region of the contact surface, wherein the adhesive has a thickness of at least 1 mm and a modulus of elasticity of at least 150 MPa so that the contact surface is spaced apart from the first surface by the adhesive,
wherein the contact section is connected to the securing section via a step section, and the step section causes the securing section to be offset relative to the contact section, such that in the installed position, the securing section is aligned with the lower edge of the side window and a plane of a first main surface of the securing section is arranged in a plane of the second surface of the side window,
wherein the contact surface extends over the complete contact section and the contact surface is directly connected to the first surface via the adhesive so that the retaining element is secured to the side window with only said adhesive,
wherein the second surface and the lower edge of the side window are out of contact with the adhesive and the retaining element, and
wherein a first angle between the step section and the contact section and a second angle between the step section and the securing section are each greater than or equal to 45 degrees so that a distance that separates the lower edge of the side window from the retaining element increases along the step section and in a direction from the contact section to the securing section.
