An electrically conductive contact element is provided that is connected with the metal part in an electrically conductive manner and is attached to the plastic layer. The contact element has an exposed section with regard to the plastic layer, the exposed section serving for making electrical contact with the vehicle body. There is further proposed a method of producing such a module.
