Abstract
Device for inserting into an opening of a component of an automobile, comprising a shaft body and a surrounding flange provided on one end of the shaft body, and at least one fastening element provided on the shaft body, wherein the device is insertable into the opening in axial direction of the shaft body such that the shaft body extends through the opening and the flange abuts on a first component surface and the device is fastened to the opening by the fastening element wherein an annular surrounding hollow space is delimited between at least a surface of the shaft body, an interior surface of the flange and the first component surface, further comprising a hot melt adhesive material provided surroundingly on the flange, which hot melt adhesive material adheres sealingly on the first component surface upon heating the flange, characterized in that the hot melt adhesive material is an expanding hot melt adhesive material, which compensates for a pressure change in the hollow space caused by changing temperature through a partial expansion into the hollow space.
