Abstract

An adjuster for pivotally adjusting two vehicle parts to each other, is provided, the adjuster including a spindle pivotally arranged on the one vehicle part about a first pivot axis, an adjusting gear unit which includes a gear unit housing and is in engagement with the spindle via a spindle nut, and a holder arranged at the other vehicle part, which pivotally supports the adjusting gear unit on the other vehicle part about a second pivot axis and for this purpose at least partly encloses the gear unit housing of the adjusting gear unit in circumferential direction about the second pivot axis. The holder may be formed by a plastic retaining clip to form a light-weight and inexpensive adjuster that has high strength in operation.
