Abstract

A trim structure of a vehicle includes a deck cover constituting a vehicle interior upper portion at a vehicle rear side. The trim structure is provided between a seat and the deck cover and at an upper end of a door main body. The deck cover includes: left and right cover side portions opposed to each other; a rear window opening opening at a vehicle rear side of the seat; and a rear window configured to be openable and closable. The trim structure includes a straightening trim body located between a lower portion of a front end of one of the cover side portions and the seat and projecting to the upper end of the door main body. The straightening trim body is formed so as to straighten traveling wind to the rear window opening in an open state, the traveling wind flowing into a vehicle interior.

First claim

The invention claimed is:
