JP-A-11-208374

  Here, the size of the mirror base and the mirror mounting portion (mirror bracket) do not match, and the small mirror base (mirror garnish) is mounted on the large mirror bracket due to reasons such as sharing of parts between different vehicle models. is there. In this case, the base cover is formed larger than the mirror base so as to cover substantially the entire area of the mirror bracket.

  However, in the structure of the above publication, the claw portion of the mirror garnish is formed in accordance with the position of the engagement protrusion of the mirror base, and the peripheral edge portion of the mirror garnish is separated from the base end of the claw portion. Engagement with the mating projections may not be able to prevent the peripheral edge of the mirror garnish from being lifted.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a mirror garnish mounting structure capable of reliably preventing the peripheral edge of the mirror garnish from rising.

To achieve the above object, the present invention, a mirror base of the door mirror fixed to a door side of the mirror bracket, a mirror garnish attachment structure for attaching preparative mirror garnish so as to cover the mirror base and the mirror bracket attached A portion, a mounted portion, a locking portion, and an engaging portion.

The mounting portion is provided on the mirror garnish. The mounting portion is provided on the mirror base, and the mounting portion of the mirror garnish is mounted. The locking portion protrudes inside the periphery of the mirror garnish. The engaging portion is provided on a peripheral portion of the mirror bracket, and the engaging portion of the mirror garnish is engaged by attaching the attaching portion of the mirror garnish to the attached portion of the mirror base.

  In the above configuration, since the locking portion protruding from the peripheral edge of the mirror garnish is engaged with the engaging portion of the mirror bracket, it is possible to reliably prevent the peripheral edge of the mirror garnish from rising.

  Also, a plate-like garnish flange portion that protrudes from the inner surface of the peripheral portion of the mirror garnish outside the locking portion and extends along the peripheral edge of the mirror garnish and covers the locking portion may be provided.

  In the above structure, the locking portion is covered by the garnish flange portion, so that the appearance is improved.

  The garnish flange increases the rigidity of the mirror garnish.
