A storage box assembly for a vehicle includes a case in which an opening is formed on an upper surface thereof, and a lid for opening/closing the opening. When the lid is closed, a surface of the lid and an upper surface of the case substantially form a flush surface. When the lid is opened, the lid is moved to be retracted in the case by a guide mechanism.

An instrument panel includes a panel body and a joint member. The panel body includes a core member and an outer layer that covers the core member, and is formed by reaction injection molding. The panel body includes a meter installed portion. A recess of the meter installed portion becomes an undercut at the time of molding. A core member is provided with a deformable portion which is elastically deformable. The molded panel body can be demolded by deforming the deformable portion. There is no need to provide a slide core with a molding die. A deformation of the deformable portion is prevented by installing the joint member onto the demolded panel body. According to the instrument panel, it is possible to improve a product quality and reduce manufacturing cost.
