  In the cowl top structure described in Patent Document 1, a step is formed at the joint portion between the glass lower end portion 41a of the windshield 41 and the clip portion 50, and the appearance is not poor and is not refreshed. This creates design constraints. The movable range of the wiper blade is limited, water accumulates on the step, snow falls, and dust accumulates.

  Further, an engagement hole 46b for engaging the clip portion 50 with the vehicle body panel must be formed. Moreover, there is a risk that water may enter from the engagement hole 46b. Further, in Patent Document 1, since the cowl top cover is accurately attached to the windshield without any accessory parts, high accuracy is required for processing the engagement hole 46b. However, it is difficult to actually drill holes with high accuracy.

  Although the clip part 50 is made of a synthetic resin, the vehicle body panel in which the engagement hole 46b is formed is made of an iron plate. Therefore, when the clip part 50 is repeatedly attached and detached, the clip part 50 is worn. For this reason, in the fitting structure of the clip part 50 and the engagement hole 46b designed severely, it is not possible to ensure a stable desorption load.

  Further, there is no portion that serves as a guide for visually confirming whether the clip portion 50 is securely engaged with the engagement hole 46b. The cowl top structure described in Patent Document 1 has the problems described above.

  In the cowl top structure described in Patent Document 2, the surface of the windshield 61 and the surface of the cowl top cover 62 can be disposed on the same surface, but an adhesive is used to fix the cowl top cover 62. For this reason, it is difficult to remove the cowl top cover 62. For this reason, the structure cannot be applied to a vehicle in which the cowl top cover 62 needs to be attached and detached during maintenance work.

  Further, since there is no structure for temporarily holding the cowl top cover 62 at the same height as the windshield 61 until the adhesive is cured, the surface of the windshield and the cowl top cover are always attached. It is difficult to produce the same surface. Even if the surface of the windshield and the surface of the cowl top cover can be manufactured in a flush state, the manufacturing process is very complicated.

  Furthermore, since the cowl top cover is fixed using an adhesive, the work for fixing the cowl top cover is an invisible work, and it is impossible to know whether a predetermined amount of adhesive is reliably applied to a predetermined position. Become. Therefore, even if the adhesive hangs down and a predetermined amount is not applied at a predetermined position, the cowl top cover is fixed. For this reason, it cannot be confirmed whether the cowl top cover is fixed with sufficient strength.

  Further, even if a predetermined amount of adhesive is applied to a predetermined position, if the cowl top cover is pushed before the adhesive is cured, the cowl top cover moves downward, and the adhesive for that part flows. . For this reason, it is difficult to ensure the adhesive layer with a predetermined thickness. In addition, since the adhesive has fluidity before being cured, it is necessary to provide a dam 64 that is not normally required along the adhesive.

  When the fixing portion of the cowl top cover is pressed from above the cowl top cover at the time of car washing or the like, the cowl top cover can be bent downward. However, it is difficult to maintain the quality of the adhesive over a long period of 5 or 10 years. An adhesive that can maintain the performance of the adhesive over a long period of time is a special adhesive and is expensive.
