ABSTRACT:
In a front structure of a vehicle body having a cowl box, the cowl box is formed by a closed cross-section windshield holding member for holding the windshield, a front cowl plate and a dashboard upper panel. The front cowl plate defines the front face of the cowl box and the dashboard upper panel defines the bottom and the rear face of the same. The windshield holding member and the dashboard upper panel separate upon vehicle impact and resultant cowl box deformation such that the windshield and holding member remain engaged.
