  • Patent number: 11536195
    Abstract: An engine room structure for a vehicle uses dividing portions of plural wall members forming a cover member, and can thereby easily form a through portion through which plural routing members are caused to pass by notch-shaped portions without forming a substantial through hole. An engine room structure for a vehicle, which includes a cover member covering an upper portion of an engine and in which a through portion is formed in the cover member, and plural routing members pass through the through portion. The cover member is divided into at least a first member and a second member, continuous notch-shaped portions are formed along a partial dividing line between the first member and the second member in either one of those, and the through portion for the plural routing members is formed with the notch-shaped portions of the one member and an end portion of the other member.
