ABSTRACT:
A vehicle fender panel mounting structure is provided in which good protection capability may be obtained for pedestrians, even when the break line portion between the hood and the fender panel is disposed offset in the vehicle width direction further inside than the vehicle body side structural member that is the corresponding mount for the fender panel. In a body in which a break line portion, of the front fender panel and a hood, is disposed offset further to the inside in the vehicle width direction than an apron upper member, an impact absorption bracket, made up from an upper bracket and a lower bracket, is disposed in a cantilever supported state, and by rotational deformation in a direction, an outside second angled portion contacts an upright wall portion, and after that time, bending deformation occurs in a successive manner, originating at a bent portion, from an inside second angled portion toward an outside second angled portion. A reaction force in the latter half of F-S characteristics may thereby be obtained.
