Abstract
A water catching strip is provided between a vehicle windshield and a vehicle A-pillar. The strip has a water catching channel adjoining a windshield between the windshield and a water catching web of the strip projecting at a distance with respect to this windshield. The strip has a predominantly smooth outer surface and is designed to be improved with respect to its effect of preventing a driving-air-flow-caused lateral flowing-off of rain water from the vehicle front area onto the side windows. The strip includes the following features: the edge of the water catching web pointing to the windshield is constructed as a flow divider for rain water flowing laterally off the windshield; a groove extends parallel to the edge engaging in the outer surface of the strip at a narrow distance to its water catching web edge; the groove extends along the entire length of the strip and extends out of the latter in an open manner at least at the top; the groove extends in a region of the strip in which, when driving air flow exists, a flow separation is formed downstream of the edge of the water catching web.
