1. A securing device for a pre-assembly of a pin-shaped connecting element in a through-opening of a component, the securing device comprising:
a sleeve comprising an inner side and an outer wall which is flat when viewed from a direction which is perpendicular to an axial direction of the sleeve, the outer wall comprising a recess arranged therein, outward arches, and concave inward arches; and
a plurality of holding elements each of which are configured to be inwardly protruding, the plurality of holding elements being arranged on the inner side of the sleeve,
wherein,
the recess arranged into the outer wall of the sleeve is configured to provide a latching engagement of a lug which is arranged in the through-opening during the pre-assembly,
the sleeve is shaped as a cylinder jacket,
the recess is introduced into the outer wall in a circumferential direction,
the recess is formed by a slot which is arranged to only traverse the outward arches and to miss the concave inward arches,
the sleeve is symmetrical with respect to the recess, and
the concave inward arches of the sleeve form the inwardly protruding holding elements.
