A motor vehicle has a U-shaped bow which can be simply fastened to a sheet metal component. The U-shaped bow is developed at each free end as a blind rivet. The U-shaped bow itself forms the pull mandrel for the blind rivets. Such a U-shaped bow can be used, for example, for fastening a child seat in the motor vehicle according to the Isofix standard, for a locking bow for a lock of a door or lid of the motor vehicle and/or for serving cargo in a vehicle trunk.
