Abstract: A footrest support structure includes a footrest main body 10 on which a foot of an occupant is placeable, a panel member 14 of a vehicle interior floor, and a shock absorbing member 15. The panel member 14 has an inclined portion 14b inclined forward and upward from the horizontal portion 14a. The shock absorbing member 15 is interposed between the panel member 14 and the footrest main body 10. The inclined portion 14b of the panel member 14 has a recessed portion 18 that is recessed downward. The shock absorbing member 15 has a thinned portion 21 in a portion facing the recessed portion 18, which is thinner than other portions.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a bonnet hinge structure. The bonnet hinge structure pivotally supports the bonnet to the vehicle body from the rear end of the bonnet, and includes: a lower hinge member fixed to the vehicle body; an upper hinge member fixed to the bonnet fixing portion of the bonnet, and pivotally connected to the lower hinge member in a manner of being able to rotate to a first height relative to the lower hinge member in the up-down direction of the vehicle body; and a rotation suppressing portion provided with a deviation restricting member. When the upper hinge member is deformed in the left-right direction of the vehicle body, the deviation restricting member comes into contact with the upper hinge member at a position of the second height lower than the first height from the top of the upper hinge member, and prevents the upper hinge member from rotating.
