From the lower end of the bending piece 31 to the outside in the vehicle width direction, and from the free end of the bending piece 31 downwardly extending in parallel with the garnish body 2 into the locking hole 11 formed in the inner wall 10. A crank-shaped locking claw 3 including an engaging piece 32 that can be engaged is provided.

Further, a columnar mounting reference pin 4 is provided on the upper back surface of the garnish body 2 in a protruding manner, and a pair of clips 5a and 5b are mounted on the upper back surface of the garnish 2 so as to sandwich the pin 4 above and below. On the other hand, the inner wall 10 of the center pillar 1 is provided with a reference hole 12 into which the pin 4 is fitted and fitting holes 13 and 14 into which the clips 5a and 5b can be fitted.

The outer circumference of the tip of the pin 4 is a tapered surface 41.

The locking hole 11 provided in the inner side wall 10 of the center pillar 1 is substantially rectangular in a front view, and the corner of the inner peripheral edge thereof has a rounded surface R as shown in FIG. The width T1 of the locking hole 11 is substantially the same as the width T2 of the locking claw 3.

In the embodiment shown in the drawings in the above pillar garnish, the corner portions of the bending piece 31 and the engaging piece 32 in the locking claw 3 are not attached to the bending piece 31 and the engaging piece 32. First rib 6 that extends in a direction orthogonal to each other and is capable of contacting the lower edge of the locking hole 11 is integrally formed, and when the locking claw 3 is engaged with the locking hole 11, the first rib 6 is formed. By contacting the lower edge of the locking hole 11 with the rib 6, the vertical position of the garnish body 2 is regulated, and both widthwise end portions of the bending piece 31 contact the rounded surface R 1 of the locking hole 11. I try to prevent it.
