Claim Text:
1. An interior side wall structure for a vehicle, comprising: a synthetic resin shock-absorbing member in a shape of a polygonal cylinder, which is fixed to a back face of a trim material attached in order to cover a side wall panel face on a vehicle interior side, which is open at one side thereof facing trim material, and which has a flange portion projected to outside at a peripheral edge, whereby collision energy is absorbed when the shock-absorbing member is crushed and deformed in response to a collision load at time of a vehicle side collision, wherein a connecting portion between adjacent side walls in a peripheral wall of the shock-absorbing member is formed in an arc shape, and a slit for compression buckling adjustment, which has a necessary length, is formed at an approximately top part of the arc shape in an input direction of a collision load in a range between a corner part where the peripheral wall and an end wall of the shock-absorbing member are adjoined to each other, and the flange portion.
