1. A roller blind arrangement for a motor vehicle comprising:
a roller blind web, which can be wound up to form a roller blind fabric roll in a winding area, and
two guide rails which are disposed on either side of a longitudinal center plane of the roller blind web, and which comprise respective guide tracks in which lateral guide strips of the roller blind web are guided, the two guide rails being connected to each other via a transverse frame part in which the winding area for the roller blind web is formed,
wherein each of the guide rails has an end adjacent to the transverse frame part, and
the transverse frame part has a strip infeed element for each guard rail, the strip infeed elements forming infeed tracks for the guide strips, each infeed track being defined by at least one inner retaining rib, which is disposed closer to the longitudinal center plane, and at least one outer retaining rib, which is disposed further away from the longitudinal center plane, the retaining ribs serving to retain the guide strips, and the infeed tracks ending in the guide tracks of the guide rails;
wherein each strip infeed element is connected to a body of the transverse frame part via a support wall;
wherein the support walls are elastically deformable, so that tolerances between the transverse frame part and the two guide rails are compensated;
wherein the entire body of the transverse frame part and both strip infeed elements together form a one-piece injection-molded plastic part;
a winding shaft is provided onto which the roller blind fabric roll is formed and which is pivotely supported by the transverse frame part; and
wherein the support walls are straight and protrude from the body of the transverse frame part in a direction of the respective guide rails, so that the respective strip infeed elements are spaced apart from the body of the transverse frame part.
