ABSTRACT:
In order to simply and decently cover the clearance between the vehicle panel and the roll bar or support strut thereof, which extends through the vehicle panel, notches 12.sub.1 and 13.sub.1 in elements of a roll bar strut cover 10 formed in a foldable plate member made of resin are, by folding, made to form a circular enclosure, without any clearance, about a roll bar or strut thereof which is secured to a vehicle frame and which extends outside from an opening 9.sub.1 in a vehicle panel 9. A trim member 15 is mounted to the vehicle panel 9 from above the cover 10 such that the cover 10 is sandwiched between the trim member 15 and an upper surface of the vehicle panel 9. Even if there is a slight error in the mounting position of the roll bar strut 5, the strut cover 10 can move to follow the roll bar strut 5 and therefore, no clearance is generated between the cover 10 and the strut 5.
