An automobile interior trim includes an interior trim body including a designed surface and a back surface thereof and attached to a vehicle body panel, a strap attached to the back surface of the interior trim body, a metal clip attached to the distal end of the strap, and a rib in a form of standing up from the back surface of the interior trim body. A part included in the metal clip and positioned on the distal end side of the metal clip is formed as pinching portions capable of being opened and closed. The rib functions so as to temporarily hold the metal clip by being pinched by the pinching portions of the metal clip.

Interior trim for automobiles

An interior component includes: an interior component body; and a mount structure for mounting the interior component body on a vehicle body. The mount structure includes: a leg part extending from the interior component body; a guide part provided at a tip of the leg part; a pair of elastic engaging hooks extending from the guide part toward the interior component body while being spaced apart from and opposing to each other; and a slit provided between the leg part and one of the elastic engaging hooks. An interval in a spaced-apart direction of the pair of elastic engaging hooks is equal to or greater than a dimension in the spaced-apart direction of the leg part. Hence, the slide molds are shifted in parallel to each other in the long-side direction of the interior component body to be removed. Thus, the mount structure is formed.
