ABSTRACT:
A vehicle instrument panel attaching structure wherein the instrument panel is attached to a body frame of the vehicle by means of stays which are disposed in side portions of the instrument panel so as to yieldably connect the instrument panel to the body frame of the vehicle. A predetermined clearance is defined between the instrument panel and the body frame of the vehicle in the assembled condition, so as to accommodate yielding movements of the stays. By virtue of the attaching structure, the instrument panel is yieldingly movable relative to the vehicle body frame when subjected to substantial impacts, thereby protecting a driver or a passenger from injury under unusual conditions such as during a collision of the vehicle.
