Abstract

An arrangement connecting the dashboard and the center console. On both sides of the rearward face end of the dashboard, dovetail guides are provided which are formed by the detachable mounting of at least one dovetail connection element, are accessible from above and extend essentially in a downward widening manner. On the forward face end of the center console, dovetail guides are provided which are molded on both sides, are closed in the upward direction, extend in the downward direction in a widening manner and interact in a form-locking fashion with the respective assigned dovetail guide on the dashboard. As a result, an easily mountable, reliable connection of the center console and the dashboard is implemented at low expenditures.
