PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cowl cover structure capable of improving load absorbing efficiency by increasing permitted deforming amount of an engine hood rear end portion when a load not less than a predetermined value is acted on the engine hood rear end portion, and on the other hand, certainly supporting the engine hood rear end portion at the time of load input less than the predetermined value. SOLUTION: A vertical wall portion 11f tilting backward is formed on a cowl cover 11 covering an upper side of a cowl portion 10, and a folded portion 17 elastically a flat supporting portion 13 formed on the cowl portion 10 is formed at a lower part of the vertical wall portion 11f. A clearance portion 19 with predetermined width is provided between a tilting edge 18a at a lower end of a rib 18 formed on the vertical wall portion 11f and extending in a vertical direction and the flat supporting portion 13. Therefore, the supporting stiffness of the rear end portion of the engine hood 2 is ensured in a normal use state. On the other hand, when the load not less than the predetermined value is inputted on the rear end portion of the engine hood 2, by the leverage of the tilting edge 18a, the folded portion 17 is separated from the flat supporting portion 13, and the deformation of the vertical wall portion 11f is promoted, thereby increasing permitted displacement amount to a lower side of the rear end portion of the engine hood 2.
