Abstract: Objects are: to make a fixing structure in which an engagement part of a fixing member is inserted and fixed in a through hole of a plate-shaped member, into a structure in which the fixing member is easily detached from the through hole and is less likely to be damaged or broken when being detached; and to, in doing so, maintain the dustproof and waterproof performance, the molding processability, and the elasticity of a dish-like contact portion of the fixing member at the conventional level, and suppress a size increase. To attain these objects, in a fixing structure, arc-shaped bent portions are respectively formed at both ends of a dish-like contact portion which annularly contacts a through hole surrounding portion from a near side in an insertion direction, and are guide portions for a detachment jig to enter the inside of the dish-like contact portion in the fixing structure.
