A method applying a bead of a coating product to a surface by a print head equipped with nozzles, each centered on a central axis, the coating product application moves the print head and the surface relative to each other, by moving the print head along a fixed trajectory relative to the surface without rotating the print head about an axis parallel to the central axes of the nozzles. The method includes selecting certain nozzles for a point of the trajectory based on the trajectory direction at this point, and activating the selected nozzles at this point. The selected nozzles are arranged in a line, or form part of a nozzle group delimited by a line, whose regression line coincides with a line as close as possible to a line perpendicular to the trajectory direction from among lines that can be defined with nozzles of the print head.

A strip assembly includes a profiled plastic strip having a latching recess configured to receive a mounting rib of an air inlet panel, and a single-piece protective plastic strip which is mechanically releasably latched in the latching recess at least in some sections along the profiled plastic strip. The strip assembly includes a first and a second strip section. The profiled plastic strip is configured such that the profiled plastic strip extends only along the first strip section. The protective plastic strip is configured such that it extends along both the first and the second strip section.
