Patent ID: 8444205

Claim:
A molded component to connect a motor vehicle window with a water box, the molded component comprising: a first segment affixable to the vehicle window; a second segment having a detent cavity bounded by a resilient leg and configured to receive a rib of the water box in an insertion direction so as to detachably affix the water box in at least one of a frictionally and a geometrically interlocking manner in the detent cavity; and at least one detent element that projects into the detent cavity at an acute angle relative to the insertion direction such that the resilient leg is elastically deformed to a greater extent during an extraction of the rib of the water box from the detent cavity than during an insertion of the rib of the water box into the detent cavity so as to facilitate inserting the rib of the water box into the detent cavity in the insertion direction and present a greater resistance to extracting the rib from the detent cavity in an extraction direction opposite the insertion direction.
