Abstract
Since a recessconfigured to house an in-vehicle componentis formed on an outer surface of a first wall portionof a FRP vehicle body panel, a metallic reinforcing memberis fitted to the recessand is fixed by adhesive, the reinforcing membercan compensate for a decrease in strength of the first wall portioncaused by the recess. Since an outer peripheral portion of the reinforcing memberis mechanically fastened to the vehicle body panelwith rivetsand, the outer peripheral portion serving as a starting point of peeling of an adhesive is reinforced by mechanical fastening so that the vehicle body paneland the reinforcing membercan be firmly integrated.
