Abstract
An attaching structure of a wheel cap for attaching a flexible annular molding to a wheel cap body of a car, by which the former is easily and surely attached to the latter. An engaging leg of the flexible annular molding includes a proximal portion, a first engaging part, a second engaging part, and a distal end part. The first and second engaging part includes a first and a second projecting part, respectively. These first and second engaging parts project in a direction generally perpendicular to a direction in which the engaging leg extends, and project in different directions. The annular molding includes a first concave part between a molding body and the first projecting part; and a second concave part between the molding body and the second projecting part. Meanwhile, the wheel cap body includes a through-hole whose inner length corresponding to both the axial direction and the first concave part is approximately equal to a length in the axial direction of the first concave part, and whose inner length corresponding to both the axial direction and the second concave part is approximately equal to a length in the axial direction of the second concave part.
