<p>The mounting structure for an energy absorber mounts securely an energy absorber to a member such as a trim without causing backlash and without using hot-melt adhesives. A trim 1 is provided with a rod 2 projecting therefrom and the rod 2 is inserted into the mounting hole 4 of the energy absorber 3. A cylindrical member 7 is fitted onto the rod 2. The cylindrical member 7 has cylindrical portion 7a and a flanged portion 7b integrally. The cylindrical portion 7a is fitted into the mounting hole 4 and the flanged portion 7b is overlapped with the peripheral portion about the mounting hole 4. The cylindrical member 7 is put on the rod 2 in such a manner that the cylindrical portion 7a is fitted into the mounting hole 4 and the flanged portion 7b is laid on the energy absorber 3. After that, the top end of the rod 2 is caulked to form an enlarged portion 2a. <IMAGE></p> |
