• B;
• C;
• D), comprising:
• a waterproof cover (40;
• 60;
• 70;
• 80) having a main body (41) with a bottom wall, side walls projecting up from the bottom wall and an open top;
• a terminal fitting (20) having opposite front and rear ends, a terminal portion (21) at the front end and a wire connecting portion (27) the rear end, the wire connecting portion (27) being connected with a core (11) of a wire (10) and being accommodated in the main body (41);
• a filling material (55) in the main body (41) and substantially surrounding the waterproof cover (40;
• 60;
• 70;
• 80) and the wire connecting portion (27);
• and a lid (42) closing at least a portion of the open top of the main body (41), a holding portion (51;
• 71;
• 83) projecting from the lid (42) and contacting the wire connecting portion (27) for holding the wire connecting portion (27) in fixed relationship to the bottom wall of the main body (41).

A method for producing a waterproof device, comprising:

• connecting a wire connecting portion (27) of a terminal fitting (20) with a conductor (11) of a wire (10);
• accommodating the connected conductor (11) and wire connecting portion (27) in a main body (41) of a waterproof cover (40;
• 60;
• 70;
• 80);
• injecting a first part of the filling material (55) into the main body (41);
• mounting a lid (42;
• 82) in an opening of the main body (41) to bring at least one holding portion (51;
• 71;
• 83) of the lid (42;
• 82) into contact with the terminal fitting (20) in such a manner to prevent a movement of the terminal fitting (20) with respect to the waterproof cover (40;
• 60;
• 70;
• 80);
• and
• injecting a second part of the filling material (55) into the main body (41).
