The front, the back and/or the roof of the vehicle comprises a plastic plate (6) which has two side edges secured to the side walls (2) by being clamped underneath a clamp profile (10) with a resilient seal (14) being provided between the clamp profile (10) and the side edge of the plastic plate (6). The clamp profile (10) is not used as such but is part of an assembly which further comprises a base profile (9) which is fixed to the side walls (2). The base profile (9) comprises a generally L-shaped portion, a first leg (18) of which extends along an edge surface (13) of the side wall (2) and a second leg (19) of which extends along an outer surface of the side wall (2). The mounting assembly comprises means which are arranged next to the side edge of the plastic plate (6) for mounting the clamp profile (10) onto the base profile (9) to clamp the side edge of the plastic plate (6) between the clamp profile (10) and the first leg (18) of the base profile (9). In this way the problem of tear formation in the plastic plate as a result of being exposed to varying temperatures is solved.
