A cowl top cover is disclosed that can be placed flush with a windshield and that makes it possible to efficiently absorb an impact load by appropriately allowing the windshield to deform, when the windshield is subjected to the impact load. The cowl top cover according to the present invention includes: a glass-parallel portion including an outer surface that is flush with the windshield at a rear end portion of a cover-main-body portion. The glass-parallel portion includes at least single linear fragile portion having a reduced thickness of the glass-parallel portion along the vehicle width direction. The fragile portion is configured to be deformable or breakable when the cover-main-body portion is subjected to a load equal to or greater than a predetermined magnitude.

Cowl top cover

A cowl-top cover capable of restraining a resistance force with respect to a load from a direction crossing a front glass face while improving its related appearance is provided. A cover main body portion is provided with a cover mounting portion adapted to be inserted into and engaged with, in a direction crossing a front glass face, an engagement receptacle portion disposed along a longitudinal direction at an edge part of a front glass from one end part in the longitudinal direction. The cover main body portion is provided with a low rigidity portion along the longitudinal direction at a position spaced from the cover mounting portion to an opposite side to the front glass.

Cowl-top cover

A ventilator includes: a plurality of louvers arranged in parallel from one end to the other end of one direction at a supply opening formed in a case; shaft pins respectively formed on both ends at one ends of the louvers and inserted into a plurality of shaft holes; the operation pins being inserted into a plurality of operation holes formed along a longitudinal direction of a link with predetermined intervals; and a standard louver being opened and closed with the shaft pins serving as a center of opening and closing, wherein, gaps (A) between the operation holes on the link are set so as to be larger than gap (B) between a line connecting the shaft pins of the standard louver and the operation pin.
