  • Arrangement for mounting a functional component such as a camera on a motor vehicle bodywork element
    Patent number: 9994162
    Abstract: An arrangement for mounting a functional component on a motor vehicle bodywork element includes a trim clipped onto the bodywork element and provided with an outer flange bearing against an outer face of the bodywork element and a support to which the functional component is fixed. The support is clipped to the trim. The support includes a central boss to which the functional component is fixed. The boss is introduced into a housing of the trim so as to position the functional component opposite an opening formed in an end wall of the trim. The support also includes a dished formation inside which the boss is located. Peripheral edges of the dished formation are extended forward to contact and interact with an inner face of the bodywork element.
