ABSTRACT:
A vehicle body, in particular for passenger cars, with an opening, which extends over the entire width of the body between the windshield and the rear edge of the engine hood and is divided into a water-inlet region with a water channel arranged underneath it for the water running off the windshield, and into an air-inlet region for an air-supply device for the passenger cell. To prevent alcohol fumes from the washing water sprayed onto the windshield from being drawn in via the air-inlet region, the latter is formed by the inlet of an air-water channel, which is closed on all sides, has a connection for the air-supply device and is secured in the engine compartment at such a distance from the windshield that it bounds a wiper recess, which lies toward the windshield and the recess opening of which constitutes the water-inlet region and the recess bottom of which forms the water channel. Washer jets are arranged on the upper edge of the channel wall, bounding the wiper recess, of the air-water channel.
