The operation panel unit includes a unit main body (1) which is mounted in an instrument panel and has a front face having rotary knobs (3a,3b) and push knobs (4) exposed to an interior of the vehicle, a mounting piece (5) which is disposed to protrude from a left side of a housing of the unit main body and has a V-shaped groove (5b), and a mounting screw (12) which fixes the mounting piece to a boss (9) which stands on the instrument panel. The V-shaped groove is ruptured when the pressure over a predetermined value is applied on the unit main body, and thus the unit main body can be buried in a direction in which the pressure is applied. The V-shaped groove is located around the mounting screw toward the side of the housing, and the bottom of the V-shaped groove crosses the head of the mounting screw, which is in contact with the rear side of the mounting piece. |
