BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a trunk trim mounting structure for fixing a trunk side finisher and a trunk rear finisher to a vehicle body side panel.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional mounting structure for a trunk trim of this type is shown in, for example, FIG. 3 (Service Weekly Report No. 622, "Introduction of R32 Series Cars" issued by Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. May 1989). See page D-65).

That is, the mounting structure of the trunk trim is related to the mounting of the trunk side finisher 1 and the trunk rear finisher 3. The trunk side finisher 1 is attached to the inner side of the rear fender panel 7 by fixing a clip 6 on the vehicle width direction side of the trunk room 5. The trunk rear finisher 3 is mounted on the inner surface side of the rear end panel 9 in the rearmost portion of the trunk room 5. The rear end portion 11 of the trunk side finisher 1 has its surface facing the front-rear direction of the vehicle body, and has a first insertion hole 13a, which serves as an insertion portion for inserting a fixture, below and above.
13b is provided. Trunk rear finisher 3
Second end holes 17a and 17b are also provided at the end portion 15 in the vehicle width direction as insertion portions for inserting fixtures.

After setting the trunk side finisher 1 on the rear fender panel 7 side as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the trunk rear finisher 3 is mounted on the rear end panel 9. At this time, the vehicle width direction end 15 of the trunk rear finisher 3 is superposed on the rear end 11 of the trunk side finisher 1 and the second insertion holes 17a, 17b are aligned with the first insertion holes 13a, 13b. Next, the clip 19 as a fixture is inserted from the second insertion holes 17a, 17b through the first insertion holes 13a, 13b. The bracket 2 provided on the rear end panel 9 side as shown in FIG.
The clip 19 is fitted and locked in the mounting hole 23 of No. 1 to fix the rear end 11 of both finishers 1 and 3 and the end 15 in the vehicle width direction.

[0005]

However, such a mounting structure has a problem that the mounting work becomes extremely complicated. That is, the trunk side finisher 1
When first attached to the inner side of the rear fender panel 7,
The first insertion holes 13a and 13b of the rear end portion 11 may be displaced from the mounting holes 23 on the rear end panel 9 side. Therefore, when the vehicle width direction end portion 15 of the trunk rear finisher 3 is overlapped with the rear end portion 11 of the trunk side finisher 1, the second insertion holes 17a and 17b do not match the first insertion holes 13a and 13b, There is a possibility that the clip 19 cannot be inserted as it is.

In particular, the trunk side finisher 1 has a rear end portion 11 as shown by a chain double-dashed line at the time of molding, and is bent at the bent portion 1a to form the rear end portion 11 shown by a solid line. It's getting easier. That is, as shown in FIG. 3, the attachment point of the trunk side finisher 1 to the rear fender panel 7 is the clip 6.
Is a position away from the rear end portion 11 toward the front of the vehicle body. Therefore, due to the springback of the bent portion 1a in FIG. 4, the rear end portion 11 tends to be displaced inward in the vehicle width direction with the force F1. For this reason, the operator must bend the bent portion 1a.
Inner surface 1 of the trunk side finisher 1 near the
b is pressed by force F2, and the first insertion holes 13a and 13b are attached to the mounting hole 23 while facing the spring back of the bent portion 1a.
It is aligned with. However, it is extremely difficult to align the first insertion holes 13a and 13b with the mounting holes 23 while pressing the inner surface 1b of the trunk side finisher 1, and there is a possibility that the clip 19 cannot be inserted as it is. For this reason, the operator must accurately position the first insertion holes 13a and 13b and the second insertion holes 17a and 17b with respect to the mounting hole 23, which makes the mounting work extremely complicated. is there.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5, the bracket 21
It is conceivable to cut and raise the engaging claw 25 and to provide the engaging hole 27 in the vicinity of the first insertion hole 13a of the trunk side finisher 1. By this means, for example, the engagement hole 27 is engaged with the engagement claw 25, and when the trunk side finisher 1 is manually pressed by the force F2 as shown in FIG. 4, the engagement hole 27 is engaged with the engagement claw 25 by the force. 1 insertion hole 13
Since a is positioned with respect to the mounting hole 23, the clip 19 can be easily inserted. However, in this case, it is necessary to cut and raise the engaging claws 25 on the bracket 21, which leads to an increase in cost due to an increase in the number of manufacturing processes, and the workability is improved because the engaging holes 27 are inserted into the engaging claws 25. There is also a limit.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a trunk trim mounting structure which facilitates positioning of the trunk side finisher and facilitates mounting work.

[0009]
