matching surface portion 116 is positioned on the compartment side of the vehicle, which is more inside the front parting line E of the sideouter panel 112 or the inner parting line C of the outside of the cowltop panel 122. Through thematching surface portion 116, the sideouter reinforcement 114 and the cowl innerlower panel 126 are firmly connected together, and the post-mounting of the cowl complete 120 is not obstructed by thematching surface portion 116. - On the other hand, as illustrated in
FIG. 4 , a forward parting line D disposed in front portion of the cowl sideinner member 124 is formed ahead of the parting line E disposed in the front side of the sideouter panel 112, so that the rear portion of the cowl sideinner member 124 does not interfere with the front shape of the sideouter panel 112 in upward and downward directions within the range where the post-mounting of the cowl complete 120 is not obstructed. As the parting lines are formed as described above, a specified space may be formed between the forward parting line D disposed in front portion of the cowl sideinner member 124 and the parting line E of the front side of the sideouter panel 112. - As the forward parting line D is disposed in front portion of the cowl side
inner member 124 as described above, no interference occurs between the cowl sideinner member 124 and the front shape of the front pillar part even if the cowl complete 120 is loaded after the front pillar part and so on is mounted, and thus the post-mounting of the cowl complete 120 is not obstructed by the front shape of the front pillar part. - However, due to the specified space formed between the forward parting line D disposed at the front portion of the cowl side
inner member 124 and the parting line E of the front side of the sideouter panel 112, wind noise and so on may occur to deteriorate the NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) performance of the vehicle.
