Vehicle cowl construction

摘要

A front portion (12D) of an outer ornamental portion (12C) of a cowl louver (12) protrudes upward of a bolt (22) that secures a wiper arm assembly (20). A plurality of ribs (58) extending in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle are formed at predetermined intervals in the vehicle width direction on the lower surface side of the front portion (12D) of the cowl louver (12). A rear end lower portion (58A) of the rib (58) abuts against the upper surface of the front portion (28A) of a pivot axis supporting member (28). When an colliding body (60) abuts against the outer ornamental portion (12C) of the cowl louver (12) from generally above, the load is transmitted via the ribs (58) of the cowl louver (12), pivot axis supporting member (28), and brackets (40, 44) to a cowl panel (38).
