Abstract
A securing element for a motor vehicle has a hermetic body made of plastic which encloses a cavity. The cavity is filled with a filling medium. The thermal expansion coefficient of the filling medium is, up to a softening temperature of the plastic, greater than the thermal expansion coefficient of the plastic. A cover for an interior mirror base of a motor vehicle includes such a securing element.
