Locking arrangement for a movable vehicle body part. For adjusting an engine hood relative to the stationary vehicle body parts, it is known from prior art to fasten a lock top part by means of washers to the engine hood in such a manner that, when the engine hood is closed and therefore in the case of a connection of the lock top part with the lock bottom part, a precise fit of the engine hood is achieved. According to the invention, the catch bow is held on the assigned vehicle body part by means of a continuous linear adjusting device.

Locking arrangement for a movable vehicle body part

The invention relates to a concealed fastening of a door handle on a panelling of a vehicle door, vehicle flap or the like, with a handle plate which rests on the panelling and which has, in a fastening region, a hook arm which projects from its rear side and passes through a clearance in the panelling and which is pushed, with an end region engaging behind, onto a support bearing arranged movably on the rear side of the panelling. The end region is held at a distance from the engaged behind counterface of the support bearing and rests with a spacer means on the counter face of the support bearing, and the distance between a pressure face of the spacer means loading the support bearing and the end region being variably changeable in order to compensate production tolerances. In order to allow a quicker mounting of the door handle without any loss of mounting accuracy, the spacer means is arranged on the hook arm so as to be displaceable transversely to the counter face of the support bearing and is held under a spring load in its bearing position on the support bearing.
