[0002] In the vehicle instrument panel assembly structure, the instrument panel body is usually equipped with a combination instrument for displaying various information during the driving process of the car. The existing combination instrument is usually installed with the instrument panel body by setting multiple screw installation points around the combination instrument, and then the screws are used to complete the installation with the instrument panel body; in order to avoid the screws being exposed to the environment and affecting the appearance, it is usually necessary to set multiple combination instrument covers or decorative panels to cover these screws. However, due to the cumulative assembly errors of the combination instrument and the combination instrument cover, as well as the influence of small displacements caused by vibration excitation during the use of the vehicle, it is difficult to ensure the consistency of the distance between the edge of the combination instrument cover and the edge of the combination instrument, which will also affect the overall aesthetics to a certain extent; especially for the combination instrument using a liquid crystal display, the black border area (BM area) around the display screen is narrow. If the distance between the edge of the combination instrument cover and the edge of the combination instrument is inconsistent, even a small deflection will feel the unevenness of the exposed black border in the black border area, which seriously affects the perception and reduces the user's driving experience.
