A fastening apparatus, for a backseat bench of a motor vehicle, includes a housing installation with a fastening space for receiving a retaining section of a component to be fastened, wherein the housing installation is insertable in an assembly direction into a passage opening of a carrier component, and wherein the housing installation has an abutment section with an abutment surface extending transversely to the assembly direction at an end counter to the assembly direction for abutment on an edge of a carrier component facing counter to the assembly direction. A catching installation is provided with catching elements for connecting the fastening apparatus to a carrier component. The fastening apparatus further has a fastening installation with a catching means for releasably fixing a retaining section of a component to be fastened, wherein the fastening installation is arranged in front of the abutment section in the assembly direction.

Mounting device

A car fastening system includes a metal clip and a plastics locking body. When an insertion portion of the metal clip is completely inserted into a door module opening, at least two supporting tabs rest on an upper side of the door module and at least two first latching legs engage behind the opening. The insertion portion of the metal clip forms a receptacle for the plastics locking body. By insertion of the plastics locking body into the receptacle, at least two second latching legs are pressed elastically outwards out of an inoperative position such that the latching legs engage behind an opening in the car door. When the plastics locking body is completely inserted into the receptacle, a shifting movement of the second latching legs in order to release the engagement behind the opening in the car door is blocked by the plastics locking body.
