1 . A vehicle front section structure comprising:
a horn, the horn being provided at a vehicle front section;
a bumper absorber, the bumper absorber being provided at a vehicle lower side of the horn and extending in a vehicle width direction, and the bumper absorber being capable of absorbing impact energy due to an impact load that has been input from a vehicle front side; and
a grill, the grill being disposed at a vehicle lower side of the bumper absorber at a bumper cover configuring a design at a vehicle front end, and an opening portion being formed in the grill,
wherein the bumper absorber is configured to include:
a through-hole, the through-hole penetrating along a vehicle up-down direction at a position overlapping with the opening portion in the vehicle width direction, and
an elastic body, the elastic body being provided within the through-hole, and the elastic body having a hollow shape penetrating along the vehicle up-down direction.
2 . The vehicle front section structure according to claim 1 , wherein the elastic body is configured to be capable of absorbing a portion of the impact energy due to the impact load that has been input from the vehicle front side.
3 . The vehicle front section structure according to claim 1 , wherein the elastic body has a cylindrical shape.
4 . The vehicle front section structure according to claim 1 , wherein the through-hole is formed at a position overlapping with the horn in the vehicle width direction.
5 . The vehicle front section structure according to claim 1 , wherein a hollow portion of the elastic body is in communication with the opening portion.
6 . The vehicle front section structure according to claim 1 , wherein the elastic body is adhesively bonded to the bumper absorber.
7 . The vehicle front section structure according to claim 1 , wherein the through-hole has a U-shape in plan view, the U-shape opening toward the vehicle front side.
8 . The vehicle front section structure according to claim 3 , wherein the elastic body has a length in the vehicle up-down direction which is smaller than a length of the through-hole in the vehicle up-down direction, and a lower surface and an outer peripheral surface of the elastic body are in contact with an inner surface of the bumper absorber within the through-hole.
