Abstract: A connector for connecting a first component to a locking pin of a second component having a head is disclosed. The connector has a base body with a receiving space for receiving the head. A retaining spring is held by the base body is provided, which has a relative position, referred to as the holding position, relative to the base body and which has a protrusion in this holding position protruding into the receiving space. The protrusion in the holding position can be moved in a release direction and projects less far into the receiving space after moving from the holding position in the release direction than in the holding position. Moving the protrusion from the holding position in the releasing direction tensions the retaining spring. When the retaining spring is in the holding position, the base body can be moved relative to the retaining spring along a locking direction.

Abstract: A plug-in nut has an outer body and an inner body which is mounted in the outer body such that it can be displaced in a rotationally fixed manner. On the inner body, rear-latching lugs are formed on spring arms, which rear-latching lugs fix an attachment component on a carrier part in a variable position of the inner body in relation to the outer body, which variable position is assumed so as to compensate for tolerances, as soon as a screw has been screwed into a screw receiving space of the inner body. This results in a secure hold with very simple handling.

Abstract: In a device for retaining, in particular, a roof strip (34) in a roof channel (44) of a motor vehicle, a base part (1) and a head part (7) are present. On the base part (1) as well as on the head part (7) a rail arrangement is configured (19, 23), by means of which the head part (7) is displaceably guided with respect to the base part (1) between a pre-assembly position and a final assembly position. Furthermore, a locking arrangement (26, 33; 20, 21) is configured on the head part (7) as well as on the base part (1), by means of which the head part (7) is blocked in the final assembly position in relation to the base part (1) at least for a displacement into the pre-assembly position. Thus, due to the floating mount a simple and reliable connection can be achieved for a roof strip (34), particularly on a motor vehicle, even in the case of relatively large dimensional tolerances of a roof channel (44) and of the roof strip (34) itself.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cover device for sealing assembly recesses on roof-drip moldings of motor vehicle bodies that run in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. The device consists of a cover holder (9) that can be placed in the roof-drip molding (1) in the area of the recess and a cover (8), which is mounted in such a way that it can pivot crosswise to the longitudinal direction of the roof-drip molding, for sealing the recess (5). Said cover holder (9) also has a recess (16) in its floor part (10). Mountings (17) are molded on both sides at one end of the recess (16) and have bearing journals (18) that face each other and that engage in corresponding, lateral bearing holes (19) that are provided at one end of the cover (8), in such a way that they can expand elastically. A support (20) on which the cover (8) rests in its closed position is located at the other end of the recess (16).
