Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a post-mounting structure of a cowl complete panel that allows for greater design freedom of the front pillar part without changing the existing factory equipment. The structure includes a front pillar part with a side outer panel and a cowl complete with a cowl top panel and a cowl side inner member. The side shape of the cowl top panel is formed to not interfere with the side shape of the compartment side of the side outer panel, and a forward parting line of the cowl side inner member is formed to not interfere with the front shape of the side outer panel. The front parting line of the side outer panel may be formed to project ahead of a connection portion of the side outer panel and the cowl top panel. The structure also includes a cowl side upper outer bracket and a matching surface portion formed between the side outer reinforcement and the cowl inner lower panel. The technical effects of the invention include improved NVH performance and strengthened combination relation between panels.

Problems solved by technology

However, the conventional mounting structure as described above has the problem that it severely limits the design freedom of the front pillar part.
That is, in this case, interference occurs from downward direction between the cowl complete and the side outer panel due to the limited space in front of the cowl top panel 22, and thus it is impossible to post-mount the cowl complete.
In order to pre-mount the cowl complete, however, the whole layout of the factory equipment should be changed at a great cost, and thus it is actually impossible to change the design of the side outer panel as described above.
In conclusion, the existing post-mounting structure of the cowl complete has the problem that it limits the design of the side outer panel constituting the front pillar part within specified range.

Abstract

A post-mounting structure of a cowl complete panel is provided, which includes a front pillar part having a side outer panel, and a cowl complete having a cowl top panel and a cowl side inner member, wherein a side shape of an outside of the cowl top panel is formed to correspond to a side shape of a compartment side of the side outer panel, and a forward parting line of a rear side of the cowl side inner member is formed ahead of a front parting line of a front side of the side outer panel, to form a specified space between the forward parting line of the rear side of the cowl side inner member and the front parting line of the front side of the side outer panel.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]The present application claims priority to Korean Patent Application Number 10-2008-0033845, filed on Apr. 11, 2008, the entire contents of which is incorporated herein for all purposes by this reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates to a post-mounting structure of a cowl complete panel with improved design freedom of a front pillar part, and more particularly, to a post-mounting structure of a cowl complete panel, in which a front pillar part can be freely designed without changing the layout of the existing factory equipment, and thus design freedom of the front pillar part can be enhanced.[0004]2. Description of Prior Art[0005]In general, a car body of a vehicle takes a box shape constructed from a proper combination of various panels and a frame, and the car body produced from such a combination in which the frame and the body are integrally formed is referred to as a mono...
