PURPOSE:To facilitate fitting, maintenance, inspection or the like of functional component parts in a cowl box and stamping of chassis number to a cowl top panel, by detachably fitting a cowl top panel to an opening part provided at an upper part of the cowl box. CONSTITUTION:A cowl top panel 4A can be fitted by inserting tongue pieces 20 provided at the rear edge thereof into inserting holes 23 of a stiffener 5 and fixing a flange 21 provided at the front edge thereof to a flange 24 of the cowl front panel 3 by clips 26. Therefore, the panel 4A can be easily fitted, even after auxiliary equipments such as a wiper unit (not shown) are fitted into a space part 7. Simultaneously with fitting the cowl top panel 4A, an elastic braid 27 fitted to the rear edge of the panel 4A can be brought into close contact with a surface of a front windshield 12 to cover a lower fixing part 13 thereof. Accordingly, it is unnecessitated to fit the braid in a secondary manner as in a conventional construction, and the number of fitting operations can be reduced. |
