Abstract
A mounting structure for vehicle interior parts includes a console member and a shift panel having an upper panel and a lower panel. An insertion portion that is inserted into a dent formed in a rear end of the console member is provided on a rear end of the lower panel. Left and right outer side surfaces of the insertion portion of the lower panel and left and right inner side surfaces of the dent of the console member are configured to be engageable by inserting engaging projections into engaging recesses. The engaging recesses are provided so as to restrict movements of the engaging projections in their longitudinal direction, and to allow positional deviation of the engaging projections in the vertical direction.

A mounting structure for vehicle interior parts, comprising:
- a console member disposed on a floor of a vehicle and having a tip end engaged with an instrument panel, and a shift panel disposed above the console member such that a space is provided therebetween, and having a tip end engaged with the instrument panel and a rear end engaged with the console member, wherein
- the shift panel is formed by combining an upper panel constituting an upper side of the shift panel and a lower panel constituting a lower side of the shift panel,
- an insertion portion that is inserted into a dent formed in a rear end of the console member is provided on a rear end of the lower panel,
- left and right outer side surfaces of the insertion portion of the lower panel and left and right inner side surfaces of the dent of the console member, which confront the left and right outer side surfaces of the insertion portion are configured to be engageable by inserting engaging projections provided on ones of them into engaging recesses formed in the others,
- the engaging recesses are provided so as to restrict movements of the engaging projections in their longitudinal direction and to allow positional deviation in the vertical direction in a state where the engaging projections are engaged with the engaging recesses,
- a console engaging portion that engages with a console engaged portion provided in the instrument panel is provided on a tip end of the console member, and the console engaging portion and the console engaged portion are engaged with each other so as to allow positional deviation of the console member in the longitudinal direction with respect to the instrument panel,
- a lower panel engaging portion that engages with a lower panel engaged portion provided in the instrument panel is provided on a tip end of the lower panel, and the lower panel engaging portion and the lower panel engaged portion are engaged with each other so as to restrict movements of the lower panel in the vertical and longitudinal directions with respect to the instrument panel, and
- a tip end upper surface of the console member and a tip end lower surface of the lower panel are abutted against each other.
