摘要

A method for producing a windshield wiper bracket (10) with a U-shaped cross section, with two through holes (12) disposed in the legs (11) of the bracket (10), through which a rivet (13) extends, wherein the method includes the following steps:production of through holes (12) in a flat bracket blank (14);insertion of a rivet slug (15) into one of the through holes (12);folding of the legs (11) to produce the U-shaped profile and to thereby position the rivet slug (15) in a position aligned with the other through hole (12);sliding of the rivet slug (15) into the position extending through both of the through holes (12), andriveting of the rivet slug (15).
