Abstract
A holding element serves for the vertical fixation of a pane of glass to be glued in the frame of a motor vehicle. It consists of a holding part made of a hard elastic plastic inserted in a lower cross frame and a number of elastically insertable supporting steps connected to it with supporting faces arranged at equal distances one above the other to support the lower edge of the pane. In order to achieve the finest possible gradation of the individual supporting steps and simultaneously a no-play mounting, the supporting steps are designed to engage one another in a lamellar manner and are connected in each case to the holding part on both sides of the support area via elastically flexible cross members on their lamellar ends. In this case, the connecting cross members are molded directly on the holding part on the one side of the support area, while the connecting cross members are molded on a separate support piece on the other side of the support area, which may be introduced into a corresponding recess in the holding part and locked in place there.
