ABSTRACT:
A vehicle door grip handle, a lower trim panel, and center trim panel are all securely and stably fixed to a door inner panel by a mounting screw. The center trim panel is folded up using a folding groove to access the mounting screw. Following installation of the mounting screw the folded center trim panel is unfolded to allow a hitching lug to be coupled to a hitching hole, thereby securing the center trim panel. Therefore, the mounting screw is not exposed to the outside due to the unfolded center trim panel and thus enables the vehicle door to maintain a beautiful exterior look on an inner side.
