Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a side mounting seat with an increased area that a vibration welding pressing jig directly presses. It is important to minimize an unpressed area by maximally securing an area that a welding jig may directly press in order to simultaneously secure weldability and exterior quality. The present disclosure provides a structure in which a hollow space in a side mounting seat is reduced by minimizing a necessary area of a hollow doghouse of the side mounting seat of each of both sides of a PAB chute, and a pressing target surface is added to allow the welding jig to press an idle region which is conventionally not directly pressed by the welding jig.
