Abstract
A sub-retaining structure includes a retainer and a compression limiter. The retainer having an attachment hole is provided in a sub-component. A compression limiter is disposed in the attachment hole of the retainer. The compression limiter has a cylindrical shape with a through hole coaxial with the attachment hole. The compression limiter defines multiple side openings arranged in a circumferential direction. The retainer includes multiple retainer arms each of which extends radially inward of the compression limiter through the side openings, respectively. The retainer arms are configured to be engageable with a fastener protruding from a main-component when the fastener is inserted into the through hole.
