Abstract

A vehicle component fastener for fastening a first component to a second component of a vehicle, including a first part having a pin socket for receiving a head of a pin of the second component, and a second part having a fastening structure for fastening of the first component. The first part and the second part are connected to each other via a preassembly locking device in a preassembly position from which axial displacement into a final assembly position can occur. The preassembly locking device is releasable by introduction of the head of the ball pin or T pin into the pin socket such that the axial displacement into the final assembly position a) can be carried out with less effort than when the head of the ball pin or T pin is not introduced into the pin socket, or b) can be carried out at all.
