  • Publication number: 20080265599
    Abstract: A motor vehicle trim assembly has a holding body with a receiving groove. The holding body can be fixed in a material-uniting manner to a motor vehicle rear window in an upper window edge region facing the vehicle interior or on a trim part in an upper trim part edge region facing the vehicle interior by means of an adhesion promoter layer. A trim part of the trim assembly is inserted with a rear window-side rim region or the motor vehicle rear window is inserted with a trim-side rim region into the receiving groove. A trim assembly of this type and a motor vehicle assembly also comprising the rear window avoids the visual impression of the visible side of the motor vehicle being limited by visible fastening elements for the trim part.
