VEHICLE EXTERIOR COMPONENT

A garnish (exterior component) includes a body having a plate configuration and a plurality of protruded ridges protruded from a back side of the body and extending with a generally constant distance from each other. The garnish is adhesively attached to a vehicle body panel via a shared double-faced adhesive tape adhered to distal end surfaces of the plurality of protruded ridges . The plurality of protruded ridges respectively include regions R having curved configurations. Height of the protruded ridge on an inner side varies such that the distal end surface thereof has a wave shape in the region having the curved configuration. Thereby, when a first adhesive surface of the double-faced adhesive tape is adhesively attached to the distal end surfaces of the protruded ridges , the release sheet covering a second adhesive surface of the double-faced adhesive tape can be prevented from being subjected to unnatural force and being peeled off the second adhesive surface.
