In the radiator grill mounting structure in which the engaging portions are attached to both left and right ends of the rear surface of the radiator grille, and the vehicle body side engaging portions are inserted into and engaged with the left and right mounting holes of the vehicle body, the left and right mounting holes of the vehicle body are
Formed as tapered holes facing oppositely in the vehicle width direction,
The vehicle body side engaging portion of the clip has two plate members each having a restoring force in the direction of opening from each other using the tip end in the vehicle body mounting direction as a fulcrum, and each of the plate members has a rear end in the vehicle body mounting direction. A groove portion is formed at the end portion so as to be able to engage and slide freely into the tapered hole.

Therefore, the restoring force of the plate member of the clip that tends to open presses the groove against the tapered surface of the tapered hole, and the clip moves inside the tapered hole due to the vehicle widthwise component of the reaction force. On the other hand, the left and right mounting holes formed in the vehicle body are tapered holes that face in opposite directions in the vehicle width direction, so each clip tries to move in the opposite direction and pulls the radiator grille in the vehicle width direction. Or try to compress it.
この力は、逆向きで且つ等しい大きさであるため、ラジ

R方向)。These two plate members 25a are connected to the tapered hole 2 on the vehicle body side described above.
Corresponding to the shape of the clip 6, the clip 22 is tapered in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the clip 22 is attached to the vehicle body (direction B in the figure). A groove 25b and a locking piece 25c for locking the plate piece 27 of the headlamp 21 are provided at the rear end of the plate member 25a in the vehicle mounting direction. This groove portion 25b is inclined or inclined similarly to the plate member 25a. Further, a hemispherical protrusion 29 is provided between the plate member 25a and the support plate 28, so that a restoring force that tends to open the plate member 25a acts on the plate member 25a (in the R direction in the figure).
次にクリップ22をラジェータグリル20に取付ける手
順を説明する。Next, the procedure for attaching the clip 22 to the radiator grill 20 will be explained.

にする。First, the locking plate 23a of the component-side engaging portion 23 of the clip 22
Align the direction of the clip 22 with the square hole 24a of the component-side mounting portion 24 of the radiator grille 20, and insert the clip 22, rotating the clip 22 and attaching it so that it does not fall off. At this time, clip 2
The direction of inclination of the second plate member 25a is made to match the direction of inclination of the tapered hole 26 formed in the plate piece 27 of the headlamp 21.

われる。従って、車体前面の外観を損なうことがない。Next, insert the vehicle body side engaging portion 25 into the tapered hole 26 of the plate piece 27 and push it in until the plate piece 27 engages with the groove 25b of the clip 22 to attach the radiator grille 20 to the vehicle body. In the radiator grill 20 that has been opened, the plate member 25a of the clip 22 will open (in the R direction in the figure).
As the groove portion 25b presses the tapered surface of the tapered hole 26, a component force f in the vehicle width direction of the reaction force F tries to move the clip 22 in the S direction inside the tapered hole 26 (sixth
(see figure). That is, the clip 22 on the right side tries to move to the right, and the clip 22 on the left side tries to move to the left (in the S direction in FIG. 5). Therefore, the clips 22 try to extend the radiator grille 20 in the left-right direction, but since the force of the left and right clips 22 trying to move them is equal,
The spacing between the radiator grille 20 and the left and right headlights 21 becomes equal, and the radiator grille 20 is centered. Therefore, the appearance of the front of the vehicle body is not impaired.
また、従来のようにラジェータグリル20と前照灯2I

トの面でも有利になる。In addition, the radiator grill 20 and headlights 2I are installed as before.
Since there is no need to interpose the elastic component 6 between the two, it is also advantageous in terms of cost.

Because it is pressed against the tapered surface of
The vehicle width direction component of this reaction force tends to move the clip inside the tapered hole. Therefore, since the radiator grille is pulled or compressed in the left-right direction with the same force on the left and right sides, it is possible to center the radiator grille.
