[Claims] In a mounting structure of a side collision sensor disposed between a door inner panel and a door trim of a side door, at least one of a door outer panel and a door inner panel overlaps with the side collision sensor in a side view. And a spacer having a shape which does not hinder the elevation of the side door glass. 2. A side collision sensor mounting structure disposed between a door inner panel and a door trim of a side door, wherein the side collision sensor is provided in a region having substantially the same height as a door impact beam. Mounting structure for a bump sensor. 3. The side collision sensor according to claim 1, wherein a recess protruding outward in the vehicle width direction is provided instead of the spacer on the door inner panel side, and the side collision sensor is provided in the recess. Mounting structure. 4. A mounting structure for a side collision sensor disposed between a door inner panel and a door trim of a side door, wherein reinforcing means is provided over at least one of the entire length in the front-rear direction and the entire length in the vertical direction of the door inner panel. A side collision sensor mounting structure, wherein a side collision sensor is provided at a set position of the means. 5. The side impact sensor mounting structure according to claim 4, wherein said reinforcing means is a recess formed integrally with the door inner panel and protruding outward in the vehicle width direction. 6. The side collision sensor mounting structure according to claim 4, wherein said reinforcing means is a reinforcement fixed to a door inner panel to form a closed cross section. 7. A side-collision sensor mounting structure disposed between a door inner panel and a door trim of a side door, the door trim corresponding to the side-collision sensor mounted on the door inner panel has a rear side of the door trim and a total length in the front-rear direction and a vertical direction. A side collision sensor mounting structure, wherein a vibration suppressing member is provided over at least one of the entire length.
