PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To effectively reinforce an area around a front edge part and improves the design flexibility.SOLUTION: A defroster opening part 3 for blowing an air for defogging a window is provided at a front edge part 1a of an instrument panel 1 and a tray opening part 12 for installing a tray member 11 is provided at an area near the vehicle rear side of the defroster opening part 3. A defroster opening reinforcement member 13 for reinforcing the defroster opening part 3 and a tray opening reinforcement member 14 for reinforcing the tray opening part 12 are provided on the rear surface side of the instrument panel 1. The defroster opening reinforcement member 13 and the tray opening reinforcement member 14 are integrated to form an opening part reinforcement structure 15. The tray member 11 is attached to the tray opening reinforcement member 14 forming the opening part reinforcement structure 15 from the rear surface side to be fixed thereto. 【課題】主に、前縁部周辺を効果的に補強すると共に、設計自由度を向上し得るようにする。【解決手段】インストルメントパネル１の前縁部１ａに、窓曇り防止用の空気を吹出すためのデフロスタ開口部３を設けると共に、このデフロスタ開口部３の車両後方側の近傍にトレイ部材１１を設置するためのトレイ用開口部１２を設ける。上記インストルメントパネル１の裏面側に、上記デフロスタ開口部３を補強するためのデフロスタ開口補強部材１３と、上記トレイ用開口部１２を補強するためのトレイ用開口補強部材１４とを設ける。上記デフロスタ開口補強部材１３とトレイ用開口補強部材１４とを一体化して開口部補強構造体１５を構成する。この開口部補強構造体１５を構成する上記トレイ用開口補強部材１４に対して、上記トレイ部材１１を、裏面側から取付固定するようにしている。【選択図】図１
