[Means for Solving the Problems]

The present invention provides a door having a substantially U-shape formed of a base plate part attached to a vehicle body, a pair of rising parts standing parallel to each other from the surface of the base plate part, and a connecting part connecting between the leading end parts of the rising parts. A latch engagement portion that engages with the provided latch, and a pair of holes through which the pair of upright portions can penetrate, and a narrower width than the connecting portion that communicates with each other in the door lock striker. A cover mounting structure for a door lock striker for mounting a cover having a through hole formed of a slit and covering the surface and the side peripheral surface of the base plate part by being fitted to the door lock striker. The cover is engaged with the door lock striker at a plurality of positions on the side peripheral portion and the side peripheral portion of the cover to engage with each other, and the base play of the cover is performed. A locking means is provided to prevent disengagement from the cover, and the edge of the slit of the cover is elastically deformable. Also, when the locking means is in the locked state, the tip of the edge portion is brought into contact with the surface of the base plate portion and elastically deformed, thereby urging the cover in the direction of separating from the base plate portion. There is.

[Action]

Hereinafter, the operation of the present invention will be described through the procedure of attaching the cover to the door lock striker.

First, the connecting portion of the latch engaging portion of the door lock striker corresponds to the slit of the through hole, and the pair of rising portions of the latch engaging portion correspond to the pair of holes of the through hole. Next, in this state, the cover is fitted on the door lock striker. At this time, since the slit is made narrower than the connecting portion of the latch engaging portion, the edge portion of the slit is elastically deformed to pass through the connecting portion. After passing, the original state is restored until the locking means is locked.

When the cover is completely fitted on the door lock striker, the locking means is in the locked state. This enables the cover to be attached to the door lock striker with one touch.
