Abstract
A system for fastening a component on a fastening projection. A fastening device has a fastening element with a holding receptacle with holding means to hold the fastening projection and positive-locking elements. The component or an intermediate element arranged on the component has corresponding positive-locking elements. Prestressing means prestress the mutually corresponding positive-locking elements into positive engagement in a premounted position of the fastening element on the component so that lateral displacement of the fastening element relative to the component along a first direction of movement is prevented. The holding receptacle has a centering opening at least partially tapering in the insertion direction of the fastening projection so that the fastening projection is centered with respect to the holding receptacle of the fastening element with temporary suppression of positive locking of the mutually corresponding positive-locking elements and with lateral displacement of the fastening element along the first direction.
