Patent ID: 8628137

Claim:
A profile element for connecting a vehicle pane to a water draining chamber, comprising: a first segment affixable to the vehicle pane; a second segment having, at an upper portion, a bearing rib having at least one seal configured to be disposed at a lower edge of the vehicle pane and, at a lower portion, a snap-in recess configured to receive, in an insertion direction between the bearing rib and a resilient leg of the snap-in recess, a rib of the water draining chamber through an engagement aperture which is delimited in the insertion direction by a lower-most surface of the bearing rib and an upper-most surface of the resilient leg; and a detent element which projects at an acute angle relative to the insertion direction into the snap-in recess such that the resilient leg of the snap-in recess is elastically deformed to a greater extent during an extraction of the rib of the water draining chamber from the snap-in recess than during an insertion of the rib of the water draining chamber into the snap-in recess so as to facilitate inserting the rib of the water draining chamber in the insertion direction into the snap-in recess and present a larger resistance to extracting the rib from the snap-in recess in an extraction direction opposite the insertion direction.
