The bracket is aligned along a longitudinal direction of the body, and two end portions of the bracket are each mounted on the mounting portions in such a manner that a bridge is formed between two adjacent mounting portions from among the plurality of mounting portions, and the switch is able to be operated from a vehicle exterior side of the body.
