Mounting structure for cockpit module and related method

摘要

A mounting structure for mounting a cockpit module (1) onto a vehicle body on a side facing a vehicle compartment (C) is provided with a mount member (10, 11) for mounting the cockpit module (1) onto the vehicle body. A guide mechanism guides the cockpit module (1) along a given transfer path (12a, 12b) when the cockpit module is transferred to a mount position of the vehicle body. The guide mechanism (9) guides the cockpit module (1) so as to allow it to move downward relative to the vehicle body in an oblique direction through at least a partial segment (12b) of the given transfer path (12a, 12b) such that the weight of the cockpit module itself can be applied to press a resilient member (16) between the vehicle body and the cockpit module.
