COWL LOUVER SUPPORT STRUCTURE FOR AUTOMOBILE

The present invention is intended to prevent formation of steps and unstable gaps each having an uneven width in boundary positions between ornamental surface of a cowl louver and ornamental surfaces of rain gutters. In an automotive cowl louver support structure, vehicle-widthwise both sides of a cowl louver (30) disposed between a windshield (W) and a hood (40) can be supported by lower portions of right and left rain gutters (20), and ornamental surfaces (20e) of the rain gutters (20) can be continuous with a ornamental surface (34e) of the cowl louver (30). Engaged portions (25) are provided to lower portions of the right and left rain gutters (20). Engagement portions (37) configured to engage the respective engaged portions (25) are provided to vehicle-widthwise both sides of the cowl louver (30). Further, the engagement portions (37) of the cowl louver (30) are engaged with the engaged portions (25) of the right and left rain gutters (20), so that the cowl louver (30) can be constrained from moving vertically and rotating horizontally relative to the right and left rain gutters (20).
