1. An insulating element for sealing off a structural element in a motor vehicle, the insulating element comprising:
a carrier; and
an expandable material, which is arranged on the carrier, wherein the insulating element has a top side and a bottom side which, in a state of use, are aligned substantially in a plane of a cross section of the structural element that is to be sealed off, wherein
the insulating element has a guide element, by which the insulating element can be arranged on a rail element, with the result that the rail element is substantially perpendicular to the top side and to the bottom side, and
the guide element has an undercut in a cross section parallel to the top side or bottom side, with the result that the guide element is mechanically secured against displacement away from the rail element by the rail element having a correspondingly mating cross section.
