An assembly (10) of a component (12) of a vehicle air conditioning system to a support structure (14), wherein the component (12) has a first connection element (32) and the support structure (14) has a second connection element (28). According to an important aspect of the invention, either the first or the second connection element (28) comprises a recess (30) therein for receiving the other connection element (28, 32) and a lateral opening (34) for allowing lateral introduction of the other connection element (28, 32) into the recess (30). The other connection element (28, 32) comprises a form having a section adapted to be received in the recess (30), the section having a dimension in a first direction which is smaller than the width of the lateral opening (34) and the section having a dimension in a second direction which is larger than the width of the lateral opening (34), such that, in a first position, the other connection element (28, 32) can be introduced into the recess (30) through the lateral opening (34) and that, after rotation into a second position of the other connection element (28, 32) within the recess (30), an interference fit connection is achieved between the first connection element (32) and the second connection element (28).
