Abstract

A vehicular door structure includes a door panel and a door trim which is fixed to the door panel. The door trim includes a foamed pad member, an outer skin member for covering the foamed pad member, and a framework for reinforcing the door trim. The framework is substantially embedded in the foamed pad member. The framework is supported by a plurality of supporting brackets which are fixed to the door panel, thereby fixing the door trim to the door panel. The door trim is made light in weight, and the vehicular door structure is made easy to be assembled.
