On the other hand, a structure as shown in FIG. 5 can be considered. This structure is for the bracket 20 on the rear end panel 9 side.
The mounting hole 21 and the cut-and-raised portion 23 are provided on the rear side, and the engaging portion 25 is provided on the trunk side finisher 1 side. With such a structure, the engaging portion 25 is engaged with the raised portion 23 to position the rear end portion 11 of the trunk side finisher 1 with respect to the mounting hole 21. As a result, the mounting hole 21
And the first insertion hole 13a (13b) are aligned,
The clip 19 is easily inserted.

However, even with this structure, the first insertion hole 1
The positioning between 3a and the mounting hole 21 is insufficient. That is, although the engaging portion 25 and the cut-and-raised portion 23 can position the vehicle body in the front-back direction and the vertical direction, the relative movement in the vehicle width direction is free and the positioning cannot be performed. In addition, the cut-and-raised portion 23 must be provided on the bracket portion 20, which may increase the number of manufacturing processes and increase costs.

Therefore, the present invention provides a trunk trim mounting structure capable of reliably positioning the rear end of the trunk side finisher during assembly and preventing an increase in cost due to an increase in manufacturing processes. To aim.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below. In addition,
The same components as those in FIGS. 4 and 5 are designated by the same reference numerals in the following description,
A duplicate description will be omitted.

FIG. 1 is an enlarged perspective view showing an essential part of a trunk trim mounting structure according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, a bracket portion 27 is attached to a rear end panel 9 which is a vehicle body side panel.
The cross section of the bracket portion 27 has a hat cross section shape,
The bases 29a and 29b are fixed to the rear end panel 9 by spot welding or the like. Also, the bracket portion 27
A mounting hole 31 for fitting and locking the clip 19 which is a fixture is provided on the protruding front surface 27b.

On the other hand, the trunk side finisher 1 is provided with a mounting opening 33. An engaging claw 35 is provided on the upper portion of the mounting opening 33, and an insertion portion 37 is provided on the lower portion.

The engaging claws 35 project toward the rear surface 1b of the trunk side finisher 1 and are directed downward. The amount of protrusion of the engaging claw 35 toward the back surface 1b is slightly larger than the thickness of the bracket portion 27. The width h of the engaging claw 35 is substantially the same as the inner surface width H of the bracket portion 27.

The insertion portion 37 has a semi-arcuate shape having a size corresponding to the mounting hole 31. By thus forming the insertion portion 37 in the shape of a semi-circle, the mounting hole 31 of the bracket portion 27 can be brought close to the upper edge portion 27a of the bracket portion 27, and the overall height S can be minimized. It is possible to reduce the size of the bracket portion 27.

The rear end 11 of the trunk side finisher 1 having such a structure and the end 15 of the trunk rear finisher 3 in the vehicle width direction are fixed as shown in FIG. That is, the engaging claw 35 of the trunk side finisher 1 is engaged with the upper edge portion 27a of the bracket portion 27, and the second insertion hole 17a (17b) and the first insertion hole 13a (13b) that are aligned with each other are inserted into the first insertion hole 13a (13b). The clip 19 penetrates, and the clip 19 is fitted and locked in the mounting hole 31. As a result, the rear end portion 11 of the trunk side finisher 1 and the vehicle width direction end portion 15 of the trunk rear finisher 3 are fixed to the rear end panel 9 side.

In assembly, first, in FIG. 1, the engaging claws 35 of the trunk side finisher 1 are inserted into the upper edge portion 27a of the bracket portion 27 and locked.

At this time, the engaging claws 35 are locked to the bracket portion 27 so that the rear end portion 11 of the trunk side finisher 1 moves forward and backward of the vehicle body.
It is positioned in the vertical direction as well as in the vehicle width direction. In addition, as long as it is positioned in the vehicle body vertical direction and the vehicle width direction, the engaging claws 35 in the bracket portion 27 are provided.
Some movement in the front-back direction is allowed.

Therefore, the insertion portion 37 on the side of the trunk side finisher 1 is accurately positioned with respect to the mounting hole 31 on the side of the rear end panel 9. Next, the trunk rear finisher 3 is attached to the rear end panel 9, and the vehicle width direction end 15 thereof is overlapped with the rear end 11 of the trunk side finisher 1. Trunk rear finisher 3
Since the bracket portion 27 is positioned relatively with respect to the rear end panel 9, the second insertion hole 17a (17b) of the trunk rear finisher 3 and the mounting hole 3 are provided.
1 is accurately positioned.

On the other hand, since the insertion portion 37 of the trunk side finisher 1 is also accurately positioned with respect to the mounting hole 31 as described above, the end portion 15 of the trunk rear finisher 3 in the vehicle width direction is located behind the trunk side finisher 1. When superposed on the end portion 11, the second insertion hole 17a (17
b), the insertion portion 37 and the mounting hole 31 are accurately positioned relative to each other. Therefore, if the clip 19 is inserted through the second insertion hole 17a (17b), the clip 19 can be easily fixed to the mounting hole 31, and the mounting work becomes extremely simple.

The structure as described above can be achieved by suppressing an increase in the number of manufacturing steps. That is, the engagement claws 35 on the side of the trunk side finisher 1 can be integrally formed with the molding of the trunk side finisher 1. Also,
Only the bracket portion 27 is set on the rear end panel 9 side. Therefore, it is possible to suppress an increase in the manufacturing process and suppress an increase in cost as compared with the case where the cut-and-raised part is provided on the bracket portion 27 side.

FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of the essential parts according to the second embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the insertion portion 37 has a circular shape. In this case, the insertion portion 37 is attached to the attachment opening 3
Bracket part 2
The mounting hole 31 on the 7th side must also be slightly moved away from the upper edge portion 27a in accordance with this, and the overall height is slightly increased. However, as the operation and effect, it is possible to obtain substantially the same as the above-mentioned embodiment, and it is possible to more firmly fix the rear end portion 11 to the bracket portion 27.

[0023]

As is apparent from the above, according to the configuration of the present invention, the rear end portion of the trunk side finisher can be positioned with reference to the same vehicle body panel as the trunk rear finisher. Therefore, the insertion portions at the rear end of the trunk side finisher and the insertion portions at the end of the trunk rear finisher in the vehicle width direction can be easily and accurately aligned with the mounting holes on the vehicle body side panel, and both finishers can be mounted extremely easily. It can be done easily. Moreover, it is possible to suppress an increase in manufacturing steps and suppress an increase in cost.
