2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, apart from stop lamps arranged at the rear end of a vehicle body, high-mount stop lamps that are turned on in conjunction with a brake pedal have been mounted at a position that is easy to see from behind such as a following vehicle. I have. In sedan-type passenger cars, a high-mount stop lamp is generally mounted between a rear shelf panel and a rear window glass.

When mounting a high-mount stop lamp between the rear shelf panel and the rear window glass, it is common to insert a tool from the trunk room side and tighten the lamp housing to the rear shelf panel with bolts and nuts. Was. However, in this mounting structure, it is necessary to insert a tool from a narrow trunk room and tighten the bolts and nuts in an unreasonable posture, which is very poor in workability.

Therefore, a hook is provided on the upper surface side of the rear shelf panel and a hook is provided on the lower surface of the lamp housing, and the hook is moved from the front to the rear to move the hook to the hook. A structure in which a high-mount stop lamp is fixed between a rear shelf panel and a rear window glass has been conventionally proposed (see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-137576).

[0005]

In the mounting structure of the high-mount stop lamp described in the above publication, the mounting is performed by moving the lamp housing from the front to the rear, that is, the mounting and dismounting by moving the lamp housing in the front-rear direction of the vehicle. Therefore, the work is performed from the interior of the vehicle. Therefore, work such as replacement can be easily performed, but when the rear window glass is not mounted at the time of assembling the vehicle, it can be mounted from above even if the space above is sufficiently secured. Workability was poor. In addition, since the mounting and detaching is performed by moving the vehicle in the front-rear direction, the shape of the rear shelf panel (trim) is restricted in order to secure a moving space for the lamp housing.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a mounting structure for a high-mount stop lamp without deteriorating workability and without restricting the shape of the rear shelf panel. Aim.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, the locking portion of the mounting clip is fitted into the opening of the rear shelf panel in a state where the neck portion of the mounting clip is mounted on the notch of the mounting piece. By doing so, the lamp housing of the high-mount stop lamp can be inserted from the direction intersecting the surface of the rear window glass and can be mounted on the rear shelf panel, and the neck of the mounting clip with the lamp housing mounted on the rear shelf panel. By removing the notch of the mounting piece from the part, the lamp housing can be removed in the direction substantially along the surface of the rear window glass, so the high mount stop lamp can be attached and detached regardless of the mounting state of the rear window glass. Workability is good, and the flat shape on the rear shelf panel side is a lamp housing. So not constrained to move.
