Abstract

An automobile hood 1 has an inner panel 2, an outer panel 3, and a plurality of linear sealer regions A in which joints 21 are arranged. A region which includes the linear sealer region A and in which both ends in a longitudinal direction L of the linear sealer region A reach the outer circumferential edge of the inner panel 2 is defined as an end-to-end region B. Each of three longest linear sealer regions A2, A4 and A3 among the plurality of linear sealer regions A is a length that is 40% or more of the length of an end-to-end region B2, B4 or B3 to which the linear sealer regions A2, A4 or A3 belongs, respectively. These three end-to-end regions B2, B4 and B3 do not intersect with each other within a region surrounded by the outer circumferential edge of the inner panel 2.
