[0035] The second rubber strip 5 is attached to the assembly plate 16. Specifically, the second rubber strip 5 is located on the side of the assembly plate 16 facing away from the lower side plate 15. The second rubber strip 5 is used to reduce the gap between the hinge trim 10 and other components after installation, while also preventing damage to the hinge trim 10 due to bumps during installation. The second rubber strip 5 is preferably, but not limited to, made of rubber. The first rubber strip 3, the buffer 4, and the second rubber strip 5 can be secured to the trim body 1 by gluing, snapping, welding, or other methods.

[0036] In one embodiment, a plurality of fixing portions 6 are provided, and the plurality of fixing portions 6 are extended from the inner side surface 11. The extension direction of the fixing portion 6 is opposite to the recessed direction of the hinge avoidance portion 2.
