       11 . (canceled)  
   
   
       12 . Method for the production of a roof pass-through, characterized by the following steps: 
 a) a roof tile ( 23 ) is provided with an insert opening ( 24 ),    b) on one side ( 22 ) of an outer ring ( 5 ) of an adapter ring ( 1 ) a connection means ( 32 ) is applied,    c) the adapter ring ( 1 ) comprising a lead-through collar ( 3 ) is introduced with this lead-through collar ( 3 ) into the insert opening ( 24 ),    d) the adapter ring ( 1 ) provided with fixing elements ( 7 - 9 ,  14 ,  18 ,  19 ) is positioned by means of these fixing elements ( 7 - 9 ,  14 ,  18 ,  19 ) relative to the roof tile ( 23 ),    e) the side ( 22 ) provided with the connection means ( 32 ) of the outer ring ( 5 ) is pressed against the surface of the roof tile ( 23 ).
