  • Windshield wiper device

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.
