PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent the occurrence of dew condensation on a wire harness wired in an air-conditioning duct laid in a vehicle, abnormal sounds produced from the duct by vibrations when the vehicle is run, and physically protect the wire harness. SOLUTION: A foamed resin 4 is laminated on the internal surface of a wiring groove 2 provided in an air-conditioning duct D and the dew condensation in the groove 2 is prevented by the heat insulating action of the resin 4. In addition, the duct D is formed in a trough like shape 1 and firmly put on an instrument panel P. Therefore, damages to a wire harness and the production of abnormal sounds from the wire harness can be prevented by suppressing the vibration of the duct D when a vehicle is run and utilizing the shock absorbing action of the resin 4. When the duct D is formed in the trough like shape 1, no excessive space is required at the time of mounting the duct D and the internal space of the vehicle can be utilized efficiently.
