A fastening device is provided for arranging a water-catching strip of a motor vehicle on an A-pillar of the motor vehicle. The fastening device can be secured in its position relative to the A-pillar by way of a bolt fastened to the A-pillar. The fastening device has a retaining region for retaining a fastening portion of the water-catching strip. The fastening device includes, in the retaining region, at least one tab, which protrudes from a main body of the fastening device and has a detent element, which detent element is designed to engage in one of a plurality of grooves. The grooves are formed in the fastening portion of the water-catching strip such that the grooves are arranged adjacent to each other in a direction of extension of the at least one tab. An arrangement of a water-catching strip of a motor vehicle on an A-pillar is carried out by a fastening device of this type.

An ultrasonic sensor includes a sensor body, a cushion member, a retainer unit, and a drainage path. The sensor body includes an ultrasonic microphone and a microphone support unit which allows a protruding part of the ultrasonic microphone located at a distal end in an axial direction to protrude and supports the protruding part. The cushion member covers the protruding part. The retainer unit allows exposure of a portion of the cushion member that is located at the distal end in the axial direction, and a portion of the cushion member that is located at a proximal end in the axial direction is sandwiched between the retainer unit and an outer peripheral surface of the protruding part. The drainage path penetrates the retainer unit in a radial direction to allow water to be discharged out of the retainer unit from a gap between the retainer unit and the cushion member.

A water channel structure for a motor vehicle includes a water channel side wall where the water channel side wall has an overlap region which is arrangeable in the motor vehicle overlapping a side wall of a motor vehicle body in an overlap plane. A set-off region is disposed on the overlap region where at least a part of the set-off region is spaced apart from the overlap plane.

An engine bay protector to protect the vehicle engine from intrusion of liquid through an engine ventilation opening. The engine bay protector is formed with any waterproof material, including silicone. The engine bay protector has a width, length, and thickness that corresponds with the dimensions of the engine ventilation opening that is to be covered. The engine bay protector has sufficient weight to resist movement during rain and car wash and will remain on the engine ventilation opening after placing over the engine ventilation opening during the rain and car wash.

A car rain guard which includes a rain shield and at least one magnetic member. The rain shield consists of an attach portion and a shield portion integrally extended from the attach portion. The attach portion is attached firmly to a surface above at least one door of a car body. An angle is formed between the attach portion and the shield portion so that the shield portion can be inclined from an inner side to an outer side to repel rain and drain water. The magnetic member is disposed on the attach portion of the rain shield so that the attach portion can be attached to and sealed on the surface detachably by magnetic attraction. Thereby the window can be left down enough, without worrying about rain splashing into the car. The rain guard is applied to a stopped car with an off engine.

A vehicle front structure includes a dash upper panel and a grille top face portion having outside air introduction holes taking in outside air. The vehicle front structure includes a cover member covering an engine from a vehicle upper side and having a top plate rear portion opposed to the grille top face portion on a vehicle lower side throughout a predetermined range, including the outside air introduction holes, in a vehicle width direction, and a grille front face portion disposed from the grille top face portion to the top plate rear portion on a vehicle front side of the outside air introduction holes. The top plate rear portion has a shape having inclined surfaces extending from a vehicle lower side of the outside air introduction holes in the vehicle width direction, the inclined surfaces being gradually inclined to the vehicle lower side toward vehicle-width-direction outer sides.

A vehicle may include: a body including a front compartment; a hood panel covering the front compartment and including a recess in an upper surface of the hood panel; a hood garnish mounted at the recess; a drainage outlet disposed at a bottom of the recess and penetrating the hood panel; and a drainage channel disposed below the hood panel and including an inlet configured to receive drainage water from the recess.
