ABSTRACT:
A structure for attaching a fabric sheet to a vehicle body, wherein the fabric sheet may be prevented from being twisted together with the rotation of a threaded fastener such as a bolt during fixation of the fabric sheet to the vehicle body by the threaded fastener. A spacer which is generally cylindrical is fitted in a hole of a tab. The spacer comprises a cylindrical portion into which a bolt is inserted, and a pair of flanges radially overhanging from both axial ends of the cylindrical portion, respectively. The flanges, have an outer diameter which is sufficiently large in comparison to the inner diameter of the hole. The cylindrical portion is inserted into the hole. The head a of the bolt never touches the tab so that the tab is never twists together with the bolt when the bolt is screwed into the bolt hole.
