Abstract
A cowl top garnish includes a protruding portion that protrudes upward, with its top being situated at an upper position when a vehicle body is viewed in a lateral cross-sectional view. The protruding portion has a front segment that is disposed in along the width of the vehicle and extends from the top in a lower forward direction, and a rear segment that extends from the top in a lower backward direction. The protruding portion is an element having flexibility that allows the front segment and the rear segment to spread when a load acts on the protruding portion from above the top. The front segment has a projecting portion that projects toward the rear segment. The rear segment has a load receiving portion onto which the projecting portion abuts to receive the load when the load acts on the front segment in the backward direction.
