According to this configuration, the attachment portion to the panel body is provided on the back side of the portion forming the upper cylindrical portion of the bezel, and the back side of the portion forming the upper cylindrical portion of the bezel and the upper side of the pad portion of the panel body Since the space formed between the part that forms the cylindrical part is used as the bezel mounting point, this space is effectively used to suppress the deformation of the pad part over time, and the inside of the main body opening is attached to the panel body. The bezel can be easily assembled to

The mounting portion provided on the bezel can adopt a fitting structure that fits with the peripheral portion of the main body opening in the panel body. For example, of the peripheral portion of the main body opening in the panel main body, one side is provided with a recess that opens inward of the main body opening, and the other side facing the recess is provided with a mating piece. It is preferable that the mounting portion includes a movable fitting portion that is rotatably fitted into the recess, and a fixed fitting portion that is claw-fitted with the piece to be fitted.

The bezel is rotated around the movable fitting portion in the direction of fitting into the main body opening, and the fixed fitting portion is claw-fitted to the fitted piece provided on the other side of the peripheral portion of the main body opening in the panel body. As a result, the bezel can be easily attached to the panel main body in the main body opening.

Further, the portion of the pad portion forming the upper tubular portion may have a lower end surface facing the direction in which the upper tubular portion formed by the bezel extends. In this case, the upper end of the bezel is in contact with the lower end surface of the portion forming the upper tubular portion of the pad portion, and the pad portion of the panel main body and the bezel form an inclined surface that continues the inner peripheral surface of the upper tubular portion. It is preferable to form the

According to this structure, since the inner peripheral surface of the upper cylindrical portion is formed as a continuous inclined surface by the pad portion of the panel body and the bezel, the step at the joint portion between the pad portion of the panel body and the bezel is reduced. By doing so, the appearance of the projection aperture including the joint can be improved.

Further, the inner peripheral surface of the pad portion forming the upper cylindrical portion and the lower end surface of the portion may form a corner projecting inwardly of the main body opening. In this case, it is preferable that the bezel is fitted at a lower position of the corner with respect to the main body opening.

According to this configuration, the bezel is fitted in the lower position of the corner of the pad part at the boundary between the pad part and the bezel with respect to the main body opening, so there is a step at the joint part between the pad part and the bezel. Even so, the step becomes more difficult to see from the passenger, and the appearance of the projection opening including the joint can be improved.

According to the instrument panel according to the technology of the present disclosure, the reflection of the bezel on the front window panel is suppressed, the appearance of the instrument panel is improved, and the appearance of the projection opening including the joint between the panel body and the bezel is improved. can be maintained.
