Abstract
A holding member (,) for holding a pipe (P), and a mounting member (,) for fixing the pipe (P) to a body panel (B) are previously connected together by a thin connecting portion (,). The holding member (,) and the mounting member (,) in the integrated state are set in a forming die. The connecting portion (,) is collapsed with the closing of such the die that the holding member (,) and the mounting member (,) are separated from each other. A coupling member (,) is formed in this state. Accordingly, the working efficiency can be improved as compared with the case where the holding member and the mounting member are individually set in the die. The holding member (,) and the mounting member (,) are coupled together by the coupling member (,). Since the coupling member (,) is formed of a rubber material, vibration caused in the pipe (P) can be prevented from being transferred to the body panel.
