The invention relates to an assembly for securing a fastening element to a first component, wherein the first component has a passage opening for a shaft of the fastening element, said assembly comprising a securing element, which reaches around the shaft of the fastening element, wherein a head part of the fastening element and the securing element are arranged on opposite sides of the first component and the shaft of the fastening element engages in a receptacle of a second component for the frictional and/or interlocking connection of the two components. According to the invention, the securing element is pre-fastened to the second component before a first connection of the first component to the second component and is separated from the second component and reaches around the shaft of the fastening element after a first release of the connection between the first component and the second component.

The invention relates to an alignment element (), with which an attachment part () can be positioned on a structure part () of a motor vehicle. The alignment element () is also suitable for retaining the attachment part () at a defined distance to the structure part () under non-destructive force transmission, and for compensating an occurring angular adjustment (W). The invention also relates to an illumination assembly () for a vehicle having the alignment element () and a corresponding method for mounting an illumination device () on the vehicle. Finally, a vehicle () comprising the illumination assembly () is also an object of the invention.

Alignment element for positioning an attachment part

A quick fastener by means of which at least a first and a second component are connectable to each other. The quick fastener includes a fastening bolt having a fastening thread of a first spiral direction, which is fastenable at the second component, and a compressible pretension element which is fastenable at the first component. The compressible pretension element includes a pretension thread at a radial inner side having a second spiral direction opposite to the first spiral direction, a hollow cylindrical thread element which is screwable with an outer thread at a radial outer side into the pretension thread of the pretension element having an inner thread at its radial inner side into which the fastening thread of the fastening bolt is screwable. At least a constructive rotation protection is provided between the hollow cylindrical thread element and the compressible pretension element. A production method for the quick fastener is further provided.
