a vehicle body strength member at a vehicle rear side of a front wall panel of a vehicle interior, the vehicle body strength member extending in a vehicle width direction;
a column bracket for mounting a steering column, the column bracket being at a lower portion of the vehicle body strength member;
a head up display unit on a vehicle front side of the vehicle body strength member, the head up display unit being at an upward position of the steering column; and
an inclination guiding part of backward rise on the column bracket,
wherein the inclination guiding part has an inclination angle such that the head up display unit is configured to slide along the vehicle body strength member to a vehicle upward direction by an emergency input load from a front direction of the vehicle.
2. The mounting structure according to claim 1 ,
wherein a casing of the head up display unit includes at least a lower casing and an upper casing,
a wall thickness of the lower casing is larger than a wall thickness of the upper casing, and
an inclined guiding surface configured to be guided by the inclination guiding part is on a lower surface of the lower casing.

4. A mounting structure for a head up display comprising:
a vehicle body strength member at a vehicle rear side of a front wall panel of a vehicle interior, the vehicle body strength member extending in a vehicle width direction;
a column bracket for mounting a steering column, the column bracket being at a lower portion of the vehicle body strength member; and
a head up display unit,
wherein:
the head up display unit is mounted on the column bracket so as to be movable to a vehicle upward direction by an emergency input load from a front direction of the vehicle, and
the head up display unit is configured such that the head up display unit does not rotate upon movement by the emergency input load from the front direction of the vehicle.
