A front vehicle-body structure includes: a lower member extending in a vehicle front-rear direction and extending upward toward the rear; and an upper member extending in the vehicle front-rear direction from a rear end of the lower member. The lower member and the upper member are coupled to each other on a plurality of pairs of surfaces, and coupling portions coupling surfaces of the lower member with surfaces of the upper member are offset from each other in the vehicle front-rear direction.

Front vehicle-body structure

A windshield and a cowl louver are reliably connected together by effectively absorbing an error in shape or dimension of each of laminated glass, a clip and the cowl louver. A cowl louver includes a body portion, a first protrusion portion, an engageable portion, and a second protrusion portion. A clip in a plate shape includes a first plate portion, a second plate portion, a first bent portion, a third bent portion, a second bent portion and an engaged portion such that the second bent portion and the first protrusion portion are at least partly brought into contact with each other, and the engaged portion and the second protrusion portion are at least partly brought into contact with each other.

Connection structure between windshield and cowl louver

A vehicle body structure comprising a cowl top garnish arranged along a windshield, wherein the cowl top garnish comprises an upper portion extending along the windshield, a side portion extending downward from an end portion of the upper portion in a vehicle width direction, and a drain recessed downward along an end portion of the upper portion on a front side of a vehicle body and extending in the vehicle width direction, the drain comprises an open end at an end portion in the vehicle width direction, and the side portion comprises a drain rib extending from the open end in rear and lower directions of the vehicle body.

Vehicle body structure

A vehicle body structure comprises a windshield and a cowl top garnish provided along a lower end portion of the windshield. The cowl top garnish includes a first shield glass abutment portion abutting against a back surface of the windshield and engaging portions engaging with engaged portions provided in the vehicle body. The engaging portions are provided in at least part in a direction along the lower end portion of the windshield. The first shield glass abutment portion occupies a range wider than a range where the engaging portions are provided. The engaging portions are provided at positions farther away from the back surface of the windshield than the first shield glass abutment portion, and engage with the engaged portions in a direction from the back surface to a front surface of the windshield.

A vehicle body structure is configured in such a manner that a left center pillar is covered with a left pillar garnish and a left gusset is joined to the upper end of the left center pillar. The left center pillar is provided with a pillar bead protruding toward the outside of a vehicle compartment. The left gusset is provided with a gusset bead that protrudes toward the vehicle compartment along the pillar bead. The gusset bead and the pillar bead form a first closed cross-section. An engagement section that is insertable into a first opening of the first closed cross-section is provided at the upper end of the left pillar garnish.

Provided is a top part structure of a vehicle body provided with: a roof side rail extending in a front-rear direction on a side part of the vehicle body, the roof side rail being formed by a rail inner, a rail outer joined to a vehicle outer side of the rail inner to form a cross-section, and a rail stiffener sandwiched between the rail inner and the rail outer to partition the closed cross-section; and a pillar extending downward from the roof side rail, the top part structure including: a bulkhead joined, at an intersection portion between the pillar and the roof side rail, to the rail stiffener, fastened by a bolt to the rail inner, and disposed such as to partition the closed cross-section between the rail inner and the rail stiffener.
