Abstract
In a structure of a pillar garnish for an automobile, a leg is provided to protrude toward a webbing from a lower edge of a step formed at a lower end of one of an upper pillar garnish and a lower pillar garnish which are formed by dividing a pillar garnish section, and webbing guide is provided at a tip end of the leg. Therefore, even if a sink mark is created on a surface of the step of the upper pillar garnish corresponding to the position of the leg, the sink mark is covered with an upper end of the lower pillar garnish and thus invisible from the side of a vehicle compartment, so that it is possible to prevent the degradation of the appearance due to the creation of the sink mark. Moreover, a back of the lower pillar garnish is superposed on a surface of the step formed on the upper pillar garnish. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the generation of a difference in level at a joint between both of the pillar garnishes to enhance the appearance.
