Abstract
A side sill of a vehicle body includes outer and inner sill members which are welded to each other at upwardly projecting flanges, at least one of which is formed with a projection extending substantially horizontally. A kicking plate has an outer end portion which covers the upper surface of the outer sill member and which is secured thereto by clips made of plastics material. The inner end portion of the kicking plate is formed substantially as an inverted U-shaped cover which covers the flanges of the sill members. The cover has on its inner surface a projection which resiliently engages with the lower surface of the projection of at least one of the flanges.
