Among them, the first edge part 41 is connected to the cover plate 5 through a connecting mechanism 6 (as Figure 5 shown), and the second edge part 42 is fixedly connected to the door seal 32.

[0029] The cover plate 5 includes a shielding part 51 extending substantially perpendicular to the floor panel 1 and connecting flanges 52 and abutting flanges 53 extending outward and inward from the shielding part 51 respectively. In the illustrated embodiment, the shielding part 51 has a substantially triangular or trapezoidal cross-section S in the YZ plane, and the top 51a of the shielding part 51 is substantially flush with (or slightly lower than) the top 2a of the seat rail 2 to shield the seat rail 2. The connecting flange 52 extends from the shielding part 51 toward the side panel 3 and is connected to the first edge part 41 of the pillar trim 4 through the connecting mechanism 6, and the abutting flange 53 extends from the shielding part 51 toward the seat rail 2 and abuts against the top 11 of the floor panel 1.

[0030] As Figures 5 to 7 shown, the connecting mechanism 6 includes at least one welding part 61 and at least one positioning part 62. Preferably, it includes a plurality of welding parts 61 arranged at substantially uniform intervals in the X direction along the connecting flange 52, and a plurality of positioning parts 62 also arranged at substantially uniform intervals in the X direction along the connecting flange 52.
