Abstract
The invention relates to a fastening element comprising a clip part (), which has a top plate (), a base plate () and a joining section (). A cutout () is made in the top plate (), and a cutout () is made in the base plate (), these cutouts facing one another. The fastening element also comprises an elongated shaft part (), which is formed on the base plate (), has a smooth-wall shaft cutout () that leads into the cutout () in the base plate and which provided for receiving a connection part. This connection part is provided with an external thread having a nominal diameter and can be guided through the cutout () in the top plate and through the cutout () in the base plate (). The cutout () in the top plate has, at least in sections, a diameter that is less than the nominal diameter of the external thread but greater than the inside diameter of the shaft cutout (). This prevents the component from tipping by establishing a pre-fixing in the area of the cutout () in the top plate before the external thread engages with the shaft part ().
