Abstract
A pair of mounts A and B for an assist grip G each include a pair of engaging pieces which are pushed apart from each other by press-insertion of a locking member between them and thereby engaged on the edge of a panel opening p of an inner panel P. On at least one of both sides of the mount A ( B) where the pair of engaging pieces are located, a provisional retention piece is provided which is independent of and separated from the engaging piece In mounting the assist grip G to the inner panel P through the panel opening p the provisional retention piece is inserted together with the engaging pieces into the panel opening p and thereby engaged on the edge of the panel opening p to provisionally retain the mount A ( B) onto the inner panel P. This provides ease and reliable provisional retention and full retention of the mount with a small force.
