    Patent number: 9592728
    Abstract: A bushing mount for an in-vehicle component disposed on a vehicle body includes a support and an insertion portion. The support includes a support body defining a pin hole therein, and the insertion portion is connected to the support. The support body includes a contact surface that abuts the vehicle body when the insertion portion is inserted into an attachment hole formed in the vehicle body. The support supports, when a pin of the in-vehicle component is inserted into the pin hole, the in-vehicle component while being interposed between the vehicle body and the in-vehicle component. The support includes a removal portion that allows the pin to be removed out of the pin hole in a direction angled from a center axis of the pin hole.
