Abstract
The specification and drawings disclose a plastic sealing or locking cover 1, and a process for using it to seal an aperture of a support 3, such as an opening in an automobile body component. At least one cavity 5 of the locking cover 1 is filled with a medium 6 which can expand under the influence of temperature after mounting of the locking cover 1 in the support aperture 2 to thus press areas of the locking cover against neighboring areas of the support aperture to create a tight seal.
