Abstract

A device for a front-end component part of a motor vehicle, behind which a radar transmitter/receiver is fastened in such a way that the latter is not visible from in front. In winterish surroundings, ice and snow deposits may occur on the front component part, whereby the functionability of the radar sensor may be impaired. It is possible to remove and/or prevent these precipitation deposits on the front component part.
