Abstract
A mounting structure for a tubular member is disclosed. At least a claw (11) making up a protrusion is formed on the outer surface of a drain hose (1) making up a tubular member. At least an annular depressed portion (22) is formed on the inner surface of a holding hole (21) of a grommet (2) making up a holding member. The claw (11) and the depressed portion (22) are fitted with each other, so that the drain hose (1) is securely held in a manner such that it cannot come off from the grommet (2) supported by a body panel (3). The outer surface of the drain hose (1) is formed with a mark (12) providing an indication of the amount of insertion.
