A vehicular exterior member attaching structure for attaching a vehicular exterior member onto a convex target location of a vehicle is provided with: a vehicle locking portion disposed at a target location; an attaching hole disposed at the target location; a covering portion disposed on the vehicular exterior member; a locking portion disposed on the covering portion and configured to be engaged with the vehicle locking portion; and an attaching piece disposed on the covering portion and configured to be inserted into the attaching hole. The covering portion and the attaching piece are integrally formed, with a portion of the attaching piece connected to the covering portion forming a thin integral hinge. When inserted into the attaching hole, the attaching piece positions the covering portion at a provisional position with respect to the target location. When the covering portion is pulled toward the vehicle locking portion and the attaching piece is pressed onto an edge portion of the attaching hole, the attaching piece is rotated in a direction opposite to the direction in which the covering portion is pulled. In a state in which the covering portion is positioned at a desired position, the attaching piece returns to an original position so as to maintain a locked state between the vehicle locking portion and the locking portion.
