PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a mounting structure of a strut tower bar capable of preventing vibration generated when a wiper device is operated from being transmitted to a cabin and increasing the stiffness of a vehicle body. SOLUTION: The strut tower bar 1 is mounted to the vehicle body so that the bar 1, a reinforcing member 2, and a holding member 3 form a triangle, and thereby the vibration generated when the wiper device is operated is diffused from the holding member 3 to the tower bar 1 and the reinforcing member 2. Further a pair of triangles are formed at ends of the tower bar 1 so as to increase the stiffness of the vehicle body. The tower bar 1 is mounted to the body so that the holding member 3 is coupled with the tower bar 1 and the reinforcing member 2 through a buffer member, and the vibration generated when the wiper device is operated is absorbed by the buffer member.
