Abstract
A wiper apparatus including right and left hand pivot shafts and a wiper motor are incorporated into an integrated modular type holder member. A mounting section having a generally trapezoidal configuration is formed on a pivot holder to extend therefrom outwardly with respect to one of the pivot shafts. The wiper apparatus includes a trapezoidal insertion hole on a vehicle body side. The mounting section is inserted into the insertion hole loosely in a tilted posture when the pivot holder takes a mounting posture, and for mounting the wiper apparatus, using, as a lever, a supporting portion formed on the vehicle body side, the mounting section is pressed against an upper edge of the insertion hole having a smaller dimension.

A mounting structure for a wiper apparatus with first and second pivot shafts and a wiper motor incorporated into an integrated modular holder member, the mounting structure comprising:
- a mounting section adjacent one pivot shaft for mounting the holder member to a vehicle body, said mounting section formed to extend away from the one pivot shaft;
- a bracket attached to the vehicle body, the bracket including an insertion hole accepting said mounting section loosely in a state where said mounting section is tilted with respect to a mounting posture of said holder member;
- and
- a supporting portion integral with the bracket for supporting said mounting section, said holder member coming into contact with said supporting portion and pressed against one edge of said insertion hole to be supported on said supporting portion when said holder member takes the mounting posture.
A mounting structure for a wiper apparatus having a mounting section adjacent one pivot shaft, comprising:
- a mount for mounting the mounting section to a vehicle body;
- a bracket attached to the vehicle body, the bracket including an insertion hole accepting the mount loosely in a state where the mounting section is tilted with respect to a mounting posture of the mount;
- and
- a supporting portion integral with the bracket for supporting the mount, the mount coming into contact with the supporting portion and pressed against one edge of the insertion hole to be supported on the supporting portion when the mounting section takes the mounting posture.
