摘要

The method involves joining a first part with at least one clip (12) with a latching element to a second part with at least one opening (13) for engagement by a latching element. Both parts are mutually relatively positioned so that the clip is opposite the opening and they are pressed together with a joining force in this position. The joining force is applied by a mechanical, hydraulic or pneumatic force source (32). AN Independent claim is also included for the following: (a) a mounting tool for joining two components.
