Abstract
A double-sided adhesive tape at a vehicle front-side is provided straddling from a first flange section to a second flange section so as to cover a vehicle width direction outer side end portion of a double-face contact portion. Accordingly, water is prevented from penetrating in from a vehicle width direction outer side end portion of the double-face contact portion. In other words, the double-sided adhesive tape doubles both as a joining member for fixing a garnish and as a waterproofing member for preventing water from penetrating in from the vehicle width direction outer side end portion of the double-face contact portion. Consequently, for example, provision of a waterproofing member such as a sealer or sponge can be dispensed with, and as a result a reduction in cost can be achieved.
