Abstract

A device for securing a functional part on a body-in-white of a motor vehicle. The mounting location of the body-in-white is designed as a receptacle that has an opening in a bottom to bring the screw parts together and the screw part on the body-in-white side is held in a cage that is adapted to the dimensions of the receptacle for insertion into the tub-shaped receptacle. The cage is capable of being secured in the receptacle via a latching connection, with at least two latching points being provided at walls of the receptacle at a distance from one another, and with at least two matching latching elements being provided on corresponding support sections of the cage.
