1. A holding device, comprising:
a front window holder, configured to fasten a lens shade to the inside of a front window of a motor vehicle in a dust-tight manner, such that, via contact with the front window, and together with the front window and a forward lateral edge of the lens shade, the front window holder delineates an inner volume separating a driver assist sensor unit from the front window; and
the lens shade, wherein the lens shade includes:
a holding element that extends the lens shade into the front window holder so as to hold the driver assist sensor unit therein, wherein the driver assist sensor unit is not held within the holding device by the front window holder except via the holding element of the lens shade, and
the forward lateral edge, wherein the forward lateral edge protrudes beyond the front window holder and includes an injection-molded sealing lip that seals the inner volume at the forward lateral edge in a dust-tight manner.
