Device for attaching an element to a part of a motor vehicle

An attachment device for attaching an element to a support formed by a part of a motor vehicle, comprising:

• a means for retaining the element;
• and
• a body capable of being attached to the support, the body being rigidly attached to the means for retaining the element,
• wherein:
• the body comprises a first part and a second part which are rigidly attached, adjacent to one another and elastically deformable,
• the first part and the second part each have a concave inner surface,
• the first part and the second part extend in different planes, transverse relative to each other, such that the first part is capable of being positioned on a first area of the support in an engagement direction located in a plane of the first part, and for partially enclosing the first area, and the positioning makes it possible to position the second part relative to a second area of the support, the second part being capable of deforming in a plane of the second part so as to conform to a shape of the second area of the support,
• wherein the second part further comprises, at an end opposite an end adjacent to the first part, a second locking means complementary to a locking means of the second area, for locking the second part in a position positioned on the second area, and
• wherein the second locking means is a hook capable of being attached on a rib provided on the second area.
