Abstract

A windshield wiper device with fastening points (16), by means of which the windshield wiper device is fastened to a body (14) of a motor vehicle. Until now windshield wiper systems were screwed or riveted to the vehicle body so that special tools and a relatively great amount of time are required. The aim of the invention is improving the windshield wiper device so that it can be mounted on the vehicle body more quickly and therefore more cost-effectively. As a result, according to the invention, at least one of the fastening points (16) can move towards the vehicle body (14) for mounting the windshield wiper device.
