First Claim
1. A vehicle comprising:
- a windshield;
a windshield unit;
a roof lining that is delimited at a front by the windshield; and
an overhead console that extends towards the front in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle to the windshield unit, a covering element thereof being attached to a windshield-end support at at least one first attachment point and to the overhead console at at least one second attachment point,wherein the windshield unit and the overhead console are first installable independently of each other during vehicle assembly with an offset between the windshield unit and the overhead console resulting from molded part and assembly tolerances,wherein the covering element is mounted so as to float with play in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and in the lateral direction of the vehicle at the first attachment point to compensate for a tolerance-related offset between the overhead console and the windshield unit, andwherein the covering element is mounted without play at the second attachment point for dimensionally accurate alignment with the overhead console.
