An inner-cabin side part of a hollow part of a protector with a sensor extends between a top end and an inner-cabin side end with an inner-cabin side apex closest to an interior of an automobile body. An outer-cabin side part of the hollow part extends between the top end and an outer-cabin side end with an outer-cabin side apex closest to an exterior of the automobile body. Distances are shorter between the apexes and the ends than between the top end and the apexes. A first conductive part includes parts closer to an installation base member than an apex of a second conductive part. Lower ends of the first conductive part have protrusions formed. The protrusions extend to protrude toward the second conductive part from an inner surface of an outer coat of the hollow part and are formed on uneven bases.
