A foam filling member that can hold a foam sheet (2) in a looped shape stably, without increasing the number of components, to provide improved vibration suppression and sound insulation. The strip-like foam sheet is formed in a looped shape by bending it, so that the end portions of the foam sheet are overlapped with each other in a thickness direction thereof to form an overlapped portion (12). Then, insertion shafts (11) of a clip (3) are inserted through the overlapped portion (12), so that the overlapped portion is held in sandwich relation between a base portion (6) and a head portion (11) to form a foam filling member (1). Then, a supporting portion of the fixing portion (4) of the clip is inserted in a fixing hole (26) of an inner panel (24) and fixed to the inner panel. After the inner panel and an outer panel (25) are welded, the foam filling member is foamed, cross-linked, and cured by heating in a drying line process at the baking finish, to thereby produce the foam, whereby the interior space (22) of the pillar is filled up with the foam, leaving no space therein. |
