Abstract
A module has an end part with at least one fixing pin interacting with fixing means carried by a support of a motor vehicle. A device for fixing the module to the support has an elastic fitting with a hollow for the fixing pin of the module, and a removable member with a first end. The first end has two elastic arms with concavities turned towards one another to clamp the fitting accommodating the fixing pin. The removable member also has a second end for interacting with the fixing means for securing to the support with a degree of freedom of movement chosen to provides for mutual movement of the two arms, in which one of them is moved towards the other.
