A covering element (4) covers a filling connector (7) of the motor vehicle body (2) and is received movably on the motor vehicle body (2). The covering element (4) is coupled to the first and second guide rails (8, 9). A third guide rail (10) is transverse to the first and second guide rails (8, 9). The third guide rail (10) is configured to be movable relative to the motor vehicle body (2) and the first and second guide rails (8, 9). The third guide rail (10) is configured to receive the covering element (4), and the covering element can be moved relative to the third guide rail.
