PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a pillar cover for a vehicle capable of storing an electronic apparatus unit in a space formed in the area with respect to the pillar part of the vehicle. SOLUTION: A space formed between this pillar cover 1 and the pillar part admits incorporation of the electronic apparatus unit A for controlling the vehicle, an audio and image apparatus B, a navigation unit C, a radar unit D, a security alarming system E, and an ETC system F. In a case the pillar cover 1 is mounted on the pillar part on the side with the driver seat of the vehicle to establish an exterior fitting, each electronic apparatus unit can be acknowledged only by the driver moving his eye line slightly sideways, and he can conduct the operation safely and properly. Further, even if the lower half of the vehicle is immerged under water in the event of disaster with the water increasing, the electronic apparatus unit A for controlling the vehicle can be precluded from being cover with water.
