Abstract: The invention relates to a windshield wiper device (1) having at least one connection for mounting on the body of a motor vehicle, this connection consisting of a fastening element that can be pushed into a receiving opening in the body and comprises a sleeve (4A, 4B) made of a deformable material of the rubber type, which can be introduced into this opening and has a bore (6) that receives the free end of a fastening finger (5) carried by the windshield wiper device. According to the invention, the external cross section of said fastening finger (5) is in the form of a cross and the shape of said bore (6) has a complementary shape, the length of the perpendicular branches (5A to 5D) of said cross being at least partially different, such as to ensure polarization and mounting of the sleeve on the fastening finger in a precise position in which rotation is prevented.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for assembling a windscreen-wiper mechanism having a support plate on an internal face of a body structure element that extends globally vertically at a rear of a motor vehicle. The method includes the steps of positioning the support plate relative to the internal face of the body structure element and joining the plate to the internal face of the body structure element. The positioning step includes moving the plate relative to the body structure element along a first direction, and the joining step includes rotating the plate about the first direction.
