ABSTRACT:
An end edge of a roof lining is engaged in a roof lining engaging groove extending along a side surface of an upper end portion of a pillar garnish at a side of a pillar, thereby eliminating a gap in a connecting portion between the pillar garnish and the roof lining to improve the appearance. Airbag deployment guide walls extend to an outside of a vehicle compartment from an upper end of a roof lining engaging groove at the side of the pillar, and an airbag module is disposed at a position sandwiched by the pillar and the roof lining, above the airbag deployment guide walls. Therefore, an inflating airbag is guided to the side of the vehicle compartment so as not to be caught by the upper end of the pillar garnish and can be deployed into the vehicle compartment by reliably pressing to open the roof lining, without providing a special guide member.
