Simplified structure and arrangement for fixing an internal part to a vehicle body forming member in a single step during assembly of an automobile without use of a separate fixing member. This enhances efficient assembly of the internal part to the vehicle body forming member. An insert boss integrally provided on an internal part such as a shock absorbing member and having a deformable portion is inserted into an insert bore in a roof side rail as a vehicle body forming member while deforming the portion, to fix the shock absorbing member to the roof side rail.
