Abstract

See full text

A connecting structure for a vehicle interior part allows an ornament member to abut to a door trim body with an improved assembling workability and an increased design freedom on configuration design. The ornament member (14) has a stepped section (32) and a latch protrusion (34) contiguous with the stepped section (32). The door trim body (12) has a latch hole (44), through which the latch protrusion (34) is inserted due to elastic deformation and with which a retaining convex portion (46) latches due to elastic return of the latch protrusion. This enables the ornament member (14) to move closer to the door trim body (12) in an abutting direction to cause the latch protrusion (34) to be inserted to the latch hole (44) for assembling. With upright sections (22) and sidewall sections (30) provided on both side end portions in a fore and aft direction and on both side end portions in a vertical direction of a vehicle, the both side end portions can be unitarily connected by the upright section (22) and the sidewall section (30) can be unitarily connected to each other with the latch protrusion (34) and the latch hole. This enables assembling work to be easily and immediately performed without worsening a positioning capability, and design freedom on configuration design to be improved.
