Abstract

In a clip for attaching a cover member of the invention, a base plate of the clip is bonded to and fixed at a bottom of a concave section formed in a vehicle. The base plate is provided with a holding section for holding a holder for attaching the cover. Also, plural pairs of elastic pieces elastically abutting against both side surfaces forming the concave section are provided at both sides of the base plate. Accordingly, the clip for attaching the cover member can be easily bonded to and fixed at a center of a width direction of the concave section.
