ABSTRACT:
In an attachment structure of an EA component, the EA component composed of a synthetic resin such as rigid urethane foam is attached to a trim serving as a member, with a first locking part therebetween. The first locking part includes a cylindrical part, an anchor, a flange, and a plurality of projections. The anchor has a flange shape extending from the rear end of the cylindrical part toward the outside. The flange extends from the leading end of the cylindrical part toward the outside. The projections protrude from the leading end of the cylindrical part in the direction parallel to the axis of the cylindrical part. The EA component is attached to the trim by setting the EA component on the trim while the projections are inserted in an opening.
