Abstract
A butt arrangement of two trim parts to be attached on the inner surface of a body panel for use in a vehicle such as an automobile, comprises a first and a second transverse portion. The first trim part includes a first longitudinal portion extending along the inner surface of the body panel and the first transverse portion. The first transverse portion extends from an edge on the vehicle passengers side of the first longitudinal portion toward the body panel at an obtuse angle to the first longitudinal portion. The second trim part includes the second transverse portion and a second longitudinal portion extending along the inner surface of the body panel. The second transverse portion extends from an edge on the first trim part side of the second longitudinal portion so that it is in parallel to the first transverse portion with a clearance, thereby to restrain the floating of the first trim part and to reduce the unpleasant protruding feeling and unsightliness at the assembling section while increasing the safety.
