A wiper subassembly for a motor vehicle has a windshield wiper retention member connected by a front connection arrangement in the longitudinal direction of the motor vehicle to a first bodywork component and by a rear connection arrangement to a second bodywork component. In order to optimize the crash behavior of a wiper subassembly, the front connection is arranged to be configured, when a threshold force which acts in the longitudinal direction between the windshield wiper retention member and the first bodywork component is exceeded, to give way so that the first bodywork component can be moved to the rear relative to the windshield wiper retention member.
