Patent ID: 6926349

Claim:
A method of assembling a bodywork part to a support of a motor vehicle by a mount, the mount comprising: two pieces that are movable relative to each other parallel to a positioning axis, one piece being for securing to the part and the other to the support; a retaining device which prevents the two moving pieces from moving relative to each other and which releases them only when the part exerts against the support a force that is greater than a given threshold in a direction parallel to the positioning axis; and a locking device suitable for being actuated to prevent the two moving pieces from moving relative to each other; the method comprising: securing one of the moving pieces of the mount to the bodywork part; opening an opening member to give access to the support; securing the other moving piece of the mount to the support; closing the opening member; moving the bodywork part along the positioning axis to position it accurately relative to its surrounding; opening the opening member to give access to the mount; and actuating the locking device to prevent the two moving pieces from moving relative to each other.
