A bezel is difficult to attach to a pad recessed section, without same rising up and curling. For this reason, a substantially tubular shaped bezel (40) having an upper edge flange (42) is placed over the pad recessed section (14-1a) and the pad recessed section is hidden, in a state in which an outer edge of the upper edge flange is sewn to a trim cover terminal. The bezel is molded from an elastic material and has a lower edge flange (44) integrally formed on the lower end thereof. The lower edge flange deforms into a shape whereby same can be inserted into the pad recessed section when the bezel is being placed over the pad recessed section. When inserted into the pad recessed section, the lower edge flange returns to its original shape, as a result of the elasticity thereof, is locked to a pad locking section (14-1b), and the bezel is placed over the pad recessed section. The locking section is formed in the pad (14-1) as a result of the bottom of the pad recessed section being used as an expanded diameter section. A locking protrusion (44b) is formed in the outer edge of the lower edge flange and a locking groove (14-1c) in which the locking protrusion is locked is formed at the outer edge of the locking section (14-1b) in the pad.
