To improve protection performance due to vertical deformation of a cowl grill by segmenting the cowl grill into an upper wall part and a front wall part if load is applied from above, thereby facilitating bend deformation by means of a bend inducing part.SOLUTION: A cowl grill 10 made of resin is provided, which is divided into an upper wall part 11 and a front wall part 21, the front wall part 21 having a bend inducing part 22 that induces bend deformation if a load is applied from above, and the cowl grill covering an upper part of a cowl box 4. The front wall part 21 comprises: a front wall body part 21c; and a front-wall-side mounting piece 21e extending backward from the front wall body part 21c. The front wall part 21 has a structure for fastening a front portion of an upper wall part 11 to the front-wall-side mounting piece 21e. The front-wall-side mounting piece 21e has, on its root side, a fragile part 23 with respect to vertical load.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
【課題】上方から荷重が作用した際にカウルグリルを上壁部と前壁部とに分断させることで屈曲促進部による屈曲変形を容易化して、カウルグリルの上下方向の変形による保護性能向上を高めること。【解決手段】上壁部11と前壁部21とに分割されるとともに、上方から荷重が作用した際に屈曲変形を誘発させるための屈曲促進部22が前壁部21に形成され、カウルボックス4の上部を覆うように設けられる樹脂製のカウルグリル10を備え、前壁部21には、前壁本体部21cと、該前壁本体部21cから後方に延びる前壁側取付片部21eを備え、前壁部21は、前壁側取付片部21eに上壁部11の前側部位を締結させる構造であり、前壁側取付片部21eの付根側に上下方向の荷重に対する脆弱部23を備えた。【選択図】図2
