Abstract: A connecting structure for exterior members includes: a first exterior member provided on a vehicle body; a second exterior member disposed adjacent to the first exterior member; an engaging portion provided on one of the first and second exterior members; and an engaged portion provided on the other one of the first and second exterior members. The connecting structure has a parting line formed between the first exterior member and the second exterior member by disposing the second exterior member on the vehicle body adjacent to the first exterior member. Sliding one of the first and second exterior members relative to the other one of the first and second exterior members along, the parting line causes the engaging portion and the engaged portion to be brought into engagement with each other in a direction intersecting a sliding direction of the one of the first and second exterior members.

Abstract: A mechanism to secure a cover for an opening in a bumper includes a securing section at which an opening cover is secured to close the opening. A bumper-side securing portion is provided on one side with respect to a line passing shaft sections and extends from an edge of a bumper opening to a rear with respect to the bumper so as to reside farther from the shaft sections than a locus defined by movement of a one-side end of the opening cover turning about the shaft sections toward an inside with respect to the bumper. A cover-side securing piece is provided on the one-side end of the opening cover to engage with the bumper-side securing portion and has a front-side securing projection that engages with a surface of a secured portion of the bumper-side securing portion on a side of a design surface of the bumper.
