Abstract

An arrangement for connecting a tubular first component to a second component, in particular for connecting a tensioning tube to an A-pillar of a vehicle body, has a first structural element which forms a receptacle for a screw element and is arranged at an end of the first component that faces the second component, and a second structural element which is secured in such a manner at that end of the first component which faces the second component that the first structural element is held between the first component and the second structural element, and the screw element is held by the second structural element in the first structural element in loss-proof fashion, the screw element being movable in the first structural element, at least in a direction transversely with respect to a longitudinal axis of the first component, for compensation of tolerances in the connection of the first component to the second component. Furthermore, a method for producing an arrangement of this type is described.
