Abstract

A fastening device is provided to cover below a front hood of a motor vehicle has an elastic fixing element for mounting a widened area implemented as a radial expansion of a shaft. When the cover is pressed down, the fixing element detaches from the widened area and arrives over the shaft. In this way, the fastening device is made yielding.
