Abstract
The invention relates to a connection unit between a support such as a body part of a motor vehicle, and a plate element, such as the facing of a door. An upper part is attachable to the plate element via an attachment region and an engagement region selectively receives a holding element which is connectable to the support. The engagement region of the upper part consists of two pockets arranged above each other and separated by a cross piece The holding element is equipped, above an attachment region connectable with support with a circumferential elastic sealing lip and two flanges of different elasticity, arranged at axial distance from each other, cross-wise to the longitudinal direction L—L defined by the holding element. The flanges are capable of being inserted into pockets whereby the holding element between the sealing lip and the two flanges presents a third elastic flange which acts upon the outer region of a plate of the lower pocket The sealing lip is equipped on the side facing the support with a circumferential sealing element
