The invention relates to a device for fastening a component to a carrier component having a bolt in particular a threaded or grooved bolt or a bolt at least sectionally spherical, comprising an at least sectionally elastic fastening part and a housing part accommodating the fastening part in a mounted state, the housing part and the fastening part having, in the mounted state, an introduction section for introducing the bolt in an introduction direction, at least one latching element for latching on the bolt being provided on an inner wall, bounding the introduction section, of the fastening part, and the fastening part and the housing part each having at least one force transmission surface, the force transmission surfaces facing one another in the mounted state and transmitting at least one tensile force that occurs during operation, the force transmission surfaces each being located in planes which are inclined or curved with respect to the introduction direction of the introduction section such that a tensile force acting on the device generates a force on the fastening part, said force acting radially inwardly with respect to the introduction section.
