Fastened member

Abstract

A fastened member configured to be fixed to a vehicle body-side member by a screw member includes: a base including a reference surface configured to receive a bearing surface of the screw member; an insertion hole provided in the base and configured to insert the screw member therethrough, and a protruding portion protruding from the reference surface. The protruding portion includes a tilted surface tilted so as to become higher along a rotation direction in which the screw member is tightened. When the screw member is tightened, the protruding portion and the base are sandwiched between the vehicle body-side member and the bearing surface and are plastically and elastically deformed.
