The invention relates to a windshield wiper device, in particular for a motor vehicle, comprising a fastening device (10) for fastening the windshield wiper device to the motor vehicle. Until now windshield wiper devices were mainly fastened to the vehicle body by means of screwed connections and plugging locations. The objective of the invention is reducing the assembly effort for fastening the windshield wiper device to the vehicle body. As a result, the inventive windshield wiper device can be clamped firmly to a vehicle body panel (13) by the fastening device (10).
