Claim 8:
9. Apparatus for fastening a component to a carrier component, comprising:
a base body, wherein the base body comprises first catching means for fastening the apparatus to a carrier component, and
an actuating element via which the apparatus can be subjected to a force acting in an assembly direction in order to transfer the apparatus from a pre-assembly position into a final assembly position, wherein the assembly direction extends orthogonally to a surface of a carrier component, and
wherein the actuating element comprises at least one catching element, which, in the pre-assembly position, engages with a correspondingly formed pre-assembly catching element of the base body and, in the final assembly position, engages with an assembly catching element of the base body, wherein a connection of the catching element to the assembly catching element verifies that the final assembly position is reached, such that the actuating element forms a visual assembly verification device;
wherein a stop apparatus is provided, which limits a movement of the actuating element in the assembly direction, wherein the stop apparatus comprises a stop recess that flares in the assembly direction and is formed on an external upper edge portion of the actuating element and a stop element that conically flares in the assembly direction and is formed on the base body.
