The invention claimed is: 1. A vehicular interior part comprising: an armrest extending in a vehicular front-rear direction, the armrest including a vehicular interior edge portion and a vehicular exterior edge portion; and an interior part component in which the armrest is mounted from an upper side at at least the vehicular interior edge portion and the vehicular exterior edge portion, wherein the vehicular exterior edge portion is mounted on the interior part component so as to be removed from the interior part component relatively more easily the vehicular interior edge portion, wherein the interior part component includes a board member having an armrest mounting hole that is through the board member in a vehicular upper-lower direction and having a hole edge mounting portion on which the armrest is mounted from the upper side, the hole edge mounting portion includes a vehicular interior hole edge mounting portion and a vehicular exterior hole edge mounting portion, and the interior part component further includes a bridge portion that extends from the vehicular interior hole edge mounting portion to the vehicular exterior hole edge mounting portion. 2. The vehicular interior part according to claim 1 , wherein the vehicular exterior edge portion of the armrest is mounted on the vehicular exterior hole edge mounting portion near the bridge portion. 3. The vehicular interior part according to claim 1 , wherein the vehicular exterior edge portion is reversibly mounted on the interior part component and the vehicular interior edge portion is irreversibly mounted on the interior part component. 4. A vehicular interior part comprising: an armrest extending in a vehicular front-rear direction, the armrest including a vehicular interior edge portion and a vehicular exterior edge portion; and an interior part component in which the armrest is mounted from an upper side at at least the vehicular interior edge portion and the vehicular exterior edge portion, wherein the vehicular exterior edge portion is mounted on the interior part component so as to be removed from the interior part component relatively more easily than the vehicular interior edge portion, wherein the interior part component includes a board member having an armrest mounting hole that is through the board member in a vehicular upper-lower direction and having a hole edge mounting portion on which the armrest is mounted from the upper side, the hole edge mounting portion includes a vehicular interior hole edge mounting portion and a vehicular exterior hole edge mounting portion, the vehicular exterior hole edge mounting portion has exterior stopper holes that are through the vehicular exterior hole edge mounting portion and has hole edges of the exterior stopper holes, the armrest includes exterior stopper projections projecting downward from a portion thereof near the vehicular exterior edge portion, the exterior stopper projections are fit in the exterior stopper holes and stopped by the hole edges of the exterior stopper holes, and the vehicular interior edge portion of the armrest is fixed to the interior part component at at least two portions thereof. 5. The vehicular interior part according to claim 4 , wherein the exterior stopper projections are removable from the exterior stopper holes by application of external force. 6. The vehicular interior part according to claim 5 , wherein the armrest is moved by the application of external force such that the exterior stopper projections are removed from the exterior stopper holes and moved upward with the vehicular interior edge portion being fixed to the interior part component. 7. The vehicular interior part according to claim 4 , wherein the vehicular exterior edge portion is reversibly mounted on the interior part component and the vehicular interior edge portion is irreversibly mounted on the interior part component.
