ABSTRACT:
A fastening device is provided for a component which is installed in a depression in an automotive body part, insertable into the depression from the outside via an inclined assembly position, and lockable in an operating position in the depression by a pivoting movement. In the operating position, a mounting part integrally molded on a first edge area of the component is in operative connection with a first side wall section of the depression, and, on an opposite second edge area of the component, an elastic catch part is provided, cooperating with a second side wall section of the depression. The depression also has two wall sections arranged with distance between them. To create the fastening device, with which the design is simplified and which also ensures rapid and simple installation and removal, a device is inserted between the depression and the adjacent component in the area of the two wall sections. The device ensures correctly positioned insertion of the component that is to be installed in the depression, and ensures a defined pivoting of the component about a pivot axis running approximately at a right angle to the wall sections, pivoting it into the operating position. The integrally molded mounting part engages behind a free edge area of the first side wall section when the component is pivoted, whereas the elastic catch part cooperates with a free edge area of the second wall section to form an engaged connection.
