thereof which comprises a reinforced piece (1), with variable shapes and dimensions,
made of impact-modified polyamide plastic, with thermoplastic rubber, UV additives
and carbon black, having an inverted U-shaped configuration, which determines a central
core (2), where longitudinal and transverse reinforcing ribs (5) and lateral supporting
