Mounting structure of exterior part

A mounting structure of an exterior part comprising:

• a main member;
• the exterior part mounted on a front surface of the main member;
• and
• a long molding mounted along an outer periphery of the exterior part so as to fill a gap between the exterior part and the front surface of the main member, the outer periphery forming an outline of the exterior part,
• wherein the molding is a string-shaped member having a T-shaped cross-section, the molding including:
• an ornamental portion which is formed into a band shape and exposed to an outside,
• a fixing portion of a band shape protruding from a back surface of a central portion of the ornamental portion, and
• a recess formed between the ornamental portion and the fixing portion and capable of being fitted to the outer periphery of the exterior part,
• the outer periphery of the exterior part includes a recessed corner portion at which two sides of the outer periphery of the exterior part cross each other, one of the two sides that constitute the recessed corner portion includes a protrusion capable of being fitted into the recess of the molding and an other of the two sides includes a cutout portion disposed adjacent to the protrusion, the cutout portion permitting insertion of the molding therethrough under a condition in which the exterior part is mounted on the front surface of the main member, and
• the exterior part is mounted on the front surface of the main member under a condition in which an end portion of the molding mounted on the one side is inserted into the cutout portion.
