Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An object is to provide a wire harness routing structure capable of improving assemblability to a vehicle.A wire harness routing structure includes a flat routing member having flexibility and extending along a vehicle width direction, and a pair of elastic members extending along the flat routing member and holding the flat routing member, and the flat routing member is fixed to a dash panel that partitions an engine room and a vehicle interior of a vehicle in a state of being sandwiched between the pair of elastic members.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A wire harness routing structure comprising: a flat routing member that has flexibility; and a pair of elastic members that extends along the flat routing member and holds the flat routing member, wherein the flat routing member is fixed to a dash panel that partitions an engine room and a vehicle interior of a vehicle in a state of being sandwiched between the pair of elastic members. 2 . The wire harness routing structure according to claim 1 , wherein the pair of elastic members includes sound absorbing materials that suppress a sound of the engine room from entering the vehicle interior. 3 . The wire harness routing structure according to claim 1 , wherein the flat routing member is disposed in a space between an air conditioning unit and the dash panel in an instrument panel of the vehicle. 4 . The wire harness routing structure according to claim 2 , wherein the flat routing member is disposed in a space between an air conditioning unit and the dash panel in an instrument panel of the vehicle. 5 . The wire harness routing structure according to claim 1 , further comprising: a groove portion that is formed in the dash panel and has a shape along an outer shape of the flat routing member. 6 . The wire harness routing structure according to claim 2 , further comprising: a groove portion that is formed in the dash panel and has a shape along an outer shape of the flat routing member. 7 . The wire harness routing structure according to claim 5 , wherein the dash panel is configured to include a dash panel body made of metal and provided with a recess and a vehicle body panel made of resin, installed in the recess, and constituting a part of the dash panel together with the dash panel body, and the groove portion is formed in the vehicle body panel. 8 . The wire harness routing structure according to claim 6 , wherein the dash panel is configured to include a dash panel body made of metal and provided with a recess and a vehicle body panel made of resin, installed in the recess, and constituting a part of the dash panel together with the dash panel body, and the groove portion is formed in the vehicle body panel. 9 . The wire harness routing structure according to claim 1 , wherein the pair of elastic members is fixed to the dash panel via an adhesive portion in a state of sandwiching the flat routing member. 10 . The wire harness routing structure according to claim 2 , wherein the pair of elastic members is fixed to the dash panel via an adhesive portion in a state of sandwiching the flat routing member.
