Abstract
A motor vehicle shell with a shell body with a body cutout for a hatch or door, especially for a rear hatch (3), and with a completely pre-mountable closing module (6) with a rim (7). The module bearing the hatch or door, especially therefore the rear hatch (3) and the associated assemblies, and for closing the body cutout of the shell body, the shell body and the rim (7) of the closing module (6) has bearing surfaces (9) which engage each other, and which extend roughly parallel to the main plane of the closing module (6). The rim (7) of the closing module (6) is attached to the shell body, with several fastening screws (10) or other mechanical attachment elements. This motor vehicle body is characterized in that the rim (7) of the closing module (6) has attachment surfaces (15) which extend roughly perpendicularly to its bearing surfaces (9) and which overlap the corresponding attachment surfaces (15) on the shell body and that the fastening screws (10) are located on these attachment surfaces (15) and join the two elements on the attachment surfaces (15) to one another.
