ABSTRACT:
A vehicle body member of a closed sectional construction extending in the widthwise direction of a vehicle body is provided between right and left roof pillars of a vehicle body. A cowl unit which comprises cowl member, at least a windshield wiper system is mounted thereon, and an instrument panel unit which comprises at least an instrument panel, a steering system, a brake pedal, a brake pedal bracket, and a brake multiplier are inserted from the top and the rear of the vehicle body respectively. By this arrangement, both units are mounted to the vehicle body separately with higher mounting efficiency and accordingly, the configuration of the side part of the instrument panel can be maintained. Also, the resistance to collision shock can be improved by restricting both units moving to the rear in a head-on collision by the above vehicle body member.
