The invention relates to a fastening of a longitudinal beam lining () on a longitudinal beam () of a motor vehicle, comprising a retaining element (), which is fastened to the longitudinal beam (). On the end region facing the retaining element (), the longitudinal beam lining () comprises a detent element (), with which the longitudinal beam lining () is latched to the retaining element (). To reduce the volume of the fastening in comparison with the prior art, the detent element () comprises a thickness-reducing indent () with respect to the adjoining surface () of the longitudinal beam lining () that is visible in the installed state of the longitudinal beam lining (), and the detent element () comprises a detent hook () on the surface () of the longitudinal beam lining () that is opposite of the indent () and not visible in the installed state of the longitudinal beam lining ().
