  • Patent number: 7717458
    Abstract: Interior parts for vehicles such as a front pillar garnish having a mounting bracket 32 to which a mounting clip 40 is connected so that the front pillar garnish is mounted to a front pillar. The mounting bracket 32 is formed on the inner side (that faces the front pillar) of the garnish main body 30 and has an inclined guiding portion 70 in its accommodating space 36 so that the flexible portion 46 of the mounting clip 40 inserted into the accommodating space 36 is bent inside the mounting bracket 32 by the inclined guiding portion 70, and the second engaging portion 50 at the distal end of the flexible portion 46 is prevented from contacting the garnish main body 30 by way of the opening 72 of the mounting bracket 32, thus allowing the mounting clip 40 not to be forcibly pressed against the garnish main body 30.
