The invention relates to a windscreen wiper system, in particular for a motor vehicle. Said system comprises a shaped tube (10) that is connected to the bodywork (13) and/or a mounting plate that is fixed to the bodywork (13), said mounting plate being in particular a mounting plate for a wiper motor. The windscreen wiper system is located in a region, which is often an impact zone in a collision between a vehicle and a pedestrian. Therefore, the components of a windscreen wiper system often present a high risk of injury to pedestrians. The aim of the invention is to improve a windscreen wiper system, so that the risk of injury to pedestrians is reduced during a collision with the vehicle. To achieve this, the shaped tube (10) of the inventive windscreen wiper system and/or the mounting plate are detachably fixed to the bodywork (13), in such a way that the shaped tube (10) and/or the mounting plate can be detached from the bodywork (13) during a collision with the windscreen wiper system. |
