Abstract

A vehicle member joining structure has: a metal member that is part of a vehicle; a resin member that is adjacent to the metal member; and an adhesive that is provided between the metal member and the resin member and joins the metal member to the resin member, the adhesive having an elastic modulus that is lower than elastic moduli of the metal member and the resin member, wherein, given that (i) ΔL is a difference in linear expansions of the metal member and the resin member at a time of heating in a drying process after application of the adhesive, (ii) Tis a thickness of the adhesive and (iii) Tis a length of an end surface of the adhesive, the following predetermined relational expression is satisfied.
