The assembly (9) has a contact region (4) and a holding element (5) formed in one of two components (1, 2) of a vehicle (3) and articulately connected with each other. The region and the element are cooperated with a shoulder (6) formed in the other component. The element is pivoted with respect to the region around a rotational axis. A projecting edge (8) is formed on the latter component and associated with the region and the element. The projecting edge, the region and the element are arranged in a groove (10) of the vehicle and/or latched with the shoulder. An independent claim is also included for a method for assembling a spoiler on a bumper of a vehicle. Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verbindungsanordnung (9) zum lösbaren Verbinden zweier Bauteile (1, 2), insbesondere eines biegeweichen Bauteils mit einem biegefesten Bauteil, eines Fahrzeugs (3) miteinander und/oder an dem Fahrzeug (3). Dabei hat das eine der Bauteile (1, 2) einen Kontaktbereich (4) und ein Halteelement (5). Das Halteelement (5) hat Schultern (6), die zum Zusammenwirken mit dem anderen der Bauteile (1, 2) ausgebildet sind. Das Halteelement (5) und der Kontaktbereich (4) sind gelenkig verbunden. Weiterhin betrifft die Erfindung ein Verfahren zum Montieren zweier Bauteile (1, 2) aneinander, beispielsweise eines Spoilerteils an einem Stoßfänger eines Fahrzeugs (3).
