A fixed piece (36A) of a connecting member (36) is fixed to a front apron (26), and a fixed piece (36B) of the connecting member (36) is located at an upper level than the fixed piece (36A), and is fixed to a rear portion (38) of the cowl (32). Therefore, a rear portion of the front apron (26) is elastically deformed rearward as indicated by arrow A, and the fixed piece (36A) of the connecting member (36) is moved rearward. As a result, upward force is applied obliquely upward with respect to the vehicle, to the fixed piece (36B) of the connecting member (36), via the connecting member (36), and a so-called cancelling moment is applied to the rear portion (38) of the cowl (32). Thus, rotation of the cowl (32) is curbed, and movement of a suspension tower plate (30) in the vertical direction is curbed.
