Abstract
A cut that widens a through hole of an end portion of a headliner interior material breaks when an airbag is deployed, and is formed on an exterior-side of the end portion. The end portion of the headliner interior material is in close contact with a surrounding member provided around the end portion. In addition, an accessory is passed through the through hole and fixed to a body, while the end portion of the headliner interior material is held to the accessory around the through hole. When the airbag installed folded on the exterior side of the headliner interior material is deployed, the airbag deploys into a cabin from between the end portion and the surrounding member.
