A clip for securing a first element to a second element, the clip comprising:
- a head and a tip,
- a first side and a second side, the first side extending from the head towards the tip and the second side extending from the head in the direction of the tip,
- wherein a first sidewall extends from a longitudinal edge of the first side toward the second side and a second sidewall extends from a longitudinal edge of the second side toward the first side,
- wherein the first sidewall has a flat main body, the second sidewall has a flat main body, and the first sidewall and the second sidewall are aligned flush with each other such that an outwardly-facing surface of the first sidewall and an outwardly-facing surface of the second sidewall are arranged on a same plane,
- a latching projection projecting in a latching direction and having a latching face facing the latching direction, the latching face being arranged in a plane which is not parallel to the first sidewall and/or not parallel to the second sidewall, and
- a latching receptacle which has an edge and a counterface adjoining the edge, wherein the latching projection projecting in the latching direction projects beyond the edge so that the latching face faces the counterface,
- wherein the latching projection projects from the first sidewall and the latching receptacle is part of the second sidewall,
- wherein the latching face extends along a plane which is perpendicular to the first sidewall and/or perpendicular to the second sidewall.
