Abstract

A water conduit for water accumulating in lateral areas of the windshield of a motor vehicle. The conduit includes a main water channel formed by a molding extending at a spacing in front of the windshield and by another residual water channel located farther towards an outside. The main water channel leads without substantial deflection in a transverse direction of the vehicle to a trough or interruption, with the channel extending in the roof approximately in parallel to a longitudinal axis of symmetry of the vehicle. The residual water channel lies within an envelope line of a contour of the motor vehicle and is continued above lateral door cutouts of the motor vehicle to a rear portion of the motor vehicle.
