Claim:
A dashboard support, extending between the A-pillars of a motor vehicle, comprising: a passenger-side beam member constructed to suit a load exposure on a passenger side; a driver-side beam member which is constructed to suit a load exposure on a driver side and connected to the passenger-side beam member, said driver-side beam member including a receiving member; and an air guiding channel made of plastic and arranged in the driver-side beam member, said air guiding channel being supported by the driver-side beam member so as to be aligned in its three rotary degrees of freedom and its translational degrees of freedom in travel direction and vertical direction, wherein the air guiding channel has a sidewall which is formed, for securement in a direction transversely to the travel direction, with an outwardly directed protuberance for engagement in the receiving member in the driver-side beam member when the air guiding channel is displaced transversely to the travel direction, wherein the driver-side beam member is formed with a support platform directed to the air guiding channel, said receiving member being arranged in the support platform, wherein the protuberance is defined by a height which is smaller than or equal to a height of the support platform so that the protuberance is prevented from extending beyond an outer side of the driver-side beam member, when the protuberance is locked in the receiving member, and wherein the receiving member is an outward projection in the driver-side beam member.
