A support for a closed flap of a vehicle, particularly a tailgate of a motor vehicle, has a bearing part arranged at the flap or at a wall area of the vehicle body adjacent to the closed flap. The bearing part can be adjusted in its position before its fastening. In its premounting position, a clamping element is frictionally or form-fittingly adjustably connected with the bearing part such that, after a fastening of the bearing part previously adjusted in its position, the clamping element can be adjusted by an applied force from the premounting position into a clamping position limited by a stop, in which the clamping element is frictionally and/or form-fittingly fixedly held at the bearing part and, at least indirectly, under a pretensioning force, rests against the flap or the wall area, when the flap is closed.

1. A support for a closed flap of a vehicle, comprising: a bearing part arranged at the flap or a wall area of a vehicle body adjacent to the closed flap, said bearing part being configured so as to be adjustably positionable automatically via displacement occurring via interaction with the flap or wall area before being securely fastened to the flap or the wall area;a clamping element adjustably connected in a premounting position thereof to the bearing part in a frictional or interlocking manner, wherein after the secure fastening of the bearing part which was previously adjusted into position, the clamping element is adjusted, via an applied force, from the premounting position into a clamping position limited by a stop, andin the clamping position, the clamping element is frictionally or interlockingly held in a non-displaceable manner at the bearing part and, at least indirectly, rests against the flap or the wall area under a pretensioning force when the flap is closed. 2. The support according to claim 1, wherein: the clamping element is adjustable via a guiding device or a swiveling device with respect to the bearing part. 3. The support according to claim 1, wherein: the clamping element is swivelable about an axis. 4. The support according to claim 1, wherein: at least one spring element loads the bearing part, before the secure fastening of the bearing part, toward the closed flap or the wall area on which the clamping element rests at least indirectly when the flap is closed. 5. The support according to claim 1, wherein: the bearing part is securely fastened on the flap or the respective wall area of the vehicle body from inside or outside the vehicle when the flap is open or closed. 6. The support according to claim 1, wherein: the clamping element has a slope or curvature which, during closing of the flap when the bearing part is adjustably positioned before being fastened, interacts with the flap or wall area to cause the automatic displacement of the bearing part. 7. The support according to claim 4, further comprising: a supporting element fixedly or detachably connected with the wall area of the vehicle body or with the flap, wherein the bearing part is adjustably fastened to the support element, andthe bearing part being adjustable, before its secure fastening, in its position at least in one direction, andwherein the spring element is supported at least indirectly on one side at the supporting element and at another side at the bearing part. 8. The support according to claim 7, further comprising: a detent, which acts frictionally or form-fittingly between the bearing part and the supporting element, said detent preventing, after an adjustment of the bearing part that is automatically caused by closing the flap against the pretensioning force of the spring element, the pretensioned spring element from adjusting the bearing part back into a position that at least partially relaxes the spring element. 9. The support according to claim 1, wherein: during closing of the flap, the clamping element interacts at least indirectly with a face or lateral area of the flap or with a wall area of the vehicle body that is adjacent to the face area or lateral area of the flap. 10. The support according to claim 1, further comprising: a wedge guide by which the clamping element is adjustable with respect to the bearing part from the premounting position into the clamping position, andduring adjusting from the premounting position into the clamping position, the clamping element is frictionally wedged in the wedge guide. 11. The support according to claim 1, further comprising: at least one screw by which the bearing part, when adjusted into position to be securely fastened, is securely fastened at least indirectly to the vehicle body or to the flap. 12. The support according to claim 7, further comprising: at least one screw by which the bearing part, when adjusted into position to be securely fastened, is securely fastened at least indirectly to the supporting element. 13. The support according to claim 7, further comprising: an additional bearing part detachably and adjustably fastened to the supporting element;an additional clamping element frictionally or interlockingly adjustably connected with the additional bearing part, whereinafter securely fastening the additional bearing part previously adjusted in position, the additional clamping element is adjusted either by an applied force from a premounting position into a clamping position limited by a stop, andwhen the flap is closed, the additional clamping element at least indirectly rests under a pretensioning against the flap or against the wall area of the vehicle body, andthe clamping element causes a lateral support of the closed flap and the additional clamping element causes a further support in an opening direction of the closed flap.
