Trim member attachment structure
A trim member attachment structure for a vehicle includes a trim member, a base portion extending from the trim member and an end portion extending from the base portion. An engagement surface extends from a first side of the base portion and faces the trim member. A shoulder extends from the base portion on a second side of the base portion. A first end of the shoulder and a first end of the engagement surface are positioned at substantially equal distances along a length of the base portion.
1. A trim member attachment structure, comprising:
a trim member;
a base portion extending from the trim member; and
an end portion extending from the base portion, the end portion including
an engagement surface extending from a first side of the base portion and facing the trim member; and
a shoulder extending from the base portion on a second side of the base portion, a first end of the shoulder and a first end of the engagement surface facing the trim member being positioned at substantially equal distances along a length of the base portion.
2. The trim member attachment structure according to claim 1 , wherein
the shoulder extends in a direction away from the engagement surface.
3. The trim member attachment structure according to claim 1 , wherein
the second side of the base portion forms an angle with respect to the trim member.
4. The trim member attachment structure according to claim 1 , wherein
the engagement surface forms an angle with the first side of the base portion.
5. The trim member attachment structure according to claim 4 , wherein
the angle is an obtuse angle.
6. The trim member attachment structure according to claim 1 , wherein
the shoulder includes a ramped surface extending from the base portion, and an end surface extending from the ramped surface.
7. The trim member attachment structure according to claim 6 , wherein
the end surface of the shoulder and the second side of the base portion are substantially parallel.
8. The trim member attachment structure according to claim 1 , wherein
a distal end of the end portion is thinner in cross section than the base portion.
9. The trim member attachment structure according to claim 8 , wherein
a guide surface extends between the distal end of the end portion and the engagement surface.
10. The trim member attachment structure according to claim 1 , wherein
a connector portion connects the base portion to the trim member.
