Windshield wiper assembly

A windshield wiper assembly for a vehicle, comprising:

• at least one wiper arm;
• a drive device that includes an electric motor having a pole-well and a transmission, which is drivable by the electric motor and is operatively connected/operatively connectable to the at least one wiper arm;
• and
• a fastener adapted to fasten the drive device on the vehicle, the fastener having a bracket that encompasses the pole-well of the electric motor at least in some areas, the bracket having a first end and a second end, the first end attaching to the pole-well and the second end being a free end that protrudes from the pole-well and is fastened to the vehicle at a connecting point,
• wherein the bracket has a bottom surface that faces the connecting point and the pole-well and an upper surface that faces away from the connecting point and the pole-well,
• wherein the bracket includes at least one reinforcement rib that protrudes from the upper surface of the bracket in a direction away from the connecting point and the pole-well, the at least one reinforcement rib extending along peripheral edges of the upper surface of at least the free end of the bracket, and
• wherein the free end of the bracket is a planar portion that extends along a plane and wherein a rotating axis of the pole-well lies in the plane of the free end of the bracket, such that in a height direction that extends from a bottom of the pole-well to a top of the pole-well to which the first end of the bracket is attached, the free end of the bracket is positioned at a same height as the rotating axis of the pole-well.
