The reinforcing member 65 is arranged in the space between the front wall portion 71 and the rear wall portion 72 of the wing portion 61 on the lower surface side of the wing body 70.
The front rib 65b, which is the leading edge of the reinforcing member 65, engages the front wall portion 71 of the wing portion 61 from the rear.
The rear rib 65c, which is the trailing edge of the reinforcing member 65, engages the rear wall portion 72 of the wing portion 61 from the rear.
The outer rib 65e, which is the outer edge of the reinforcing member 65 in the vehicle width direction, is arranged close to the side wall portion 74 inside the side wall portion 74 of the wing portion 61 in the vehicle width direction.
By connecting the reinforcing member 65 to the wing portion 61 in this way, the rigidity of the wing portion 61 is improved.

With reference to FIGS. 6, 7, and 9, the upper side cowl 42 is provided with a pair of front and rear mounting portions 68 (FIG. 9) protruding inward in the vehicle width direction from the inner side surface in the vehicle width direction. The mounting portion 68 includes a tubular portion 68a that is inserted through a fixing hole 62c and an inner rib 65d of the reinforcing member 65.
The pair of mounting portions 68 are provided at positions corresponding to the pair of fixing holes 62c of the upper side cowl 42. Here, the rear mounting portion 68 is not shown, but the front and rear mounting portions 68 are similarly configured. The mounting portion 68 is arranged in the vicinity of the inner edge 70c of the blade body 70.

The upper side cowl 42 is fixed to the side cowl 45 by fastening the fixing tool 66 inserted into the fixing hole 62c of the side cowl 45 to the tubular portion 68a of the mounting portion 68 at the mating portion 60.
The reinforcing member 65 is fixed to the side cowl 45 by sandwiching the inner rib 65d between the vertical wall portion 62b of the side cowl 45 and the mounting portion 68 of the upper side cowl 42 by the fastening force of the fixing tool 66. To. That is, the reinforcing member 65 is fastened together with the upper side cowl 42 with respect to the side cowl 45 by the fixing tool 66.

In the mating portion 60, the upper side cowl 42 is connected to the step portion 62 of the upper edge portion 45b of the side cowl 45 by the fixing tool 66, and is connected to the side cowl 45 via the reinforcing member 65 that is fitted to the wing portion 61 from below. Will be done.
The wing portion 61 overlaps the upper edge portion 45b of the side cowl 45 from the outside in the vehicle width direction in the mating portion 60 when viewed from the vehicle side. A part of the upper edge portion 45b is covered and hidden from the outside in the vehicle width direction by the wing portion 61.
As shown in FIG. 4, when viewed from the side of the vehicle, the rear portion of the mating portion 60 located behind the wing portion 61 extends rearward and upward to the rear end 60b continuously with the wing portion 61.

As shown in FIG. 8, in the side view of the vehicle, the wing section portion 75 is formed by the wing portion 61 and the reinforcing member 65. The wing cross-section portion 75 is elongated in the front-rear direction of the vehicle and is inclined rearward. The blade cross-section portion 75 is formed from the inner end portion of the blade portion 61 in the vehicle width direction to the outer end portion in the vehicle width direction.
In the blade cross-section portion 75, the blade body 70 constitutes a planar flat portion 75a. The flat surface portion 75a extends in the front-rear direction of the vehicle in a rear-up posture when viewed from the side of the vehicle.
