Claim:
A display unit attaching structure comprising: a vehicle roof sheet metal provided with a plurality of engaging holes; a base sheet metal which has a plurality of first press-fit clips for engaging with the engaging holes of the vehicle roof sheet metal, and also on one side of which an engaging section is formed, and on the other side of which a supporting section having one or more engaging holes is formed; and a display main body which pivotally supports a display openably and closably in a display housing section, and also on one side of which an engaging section for engaging with the engaging section of the base sheet metal is provided, and on at least one other side of which one or more second press-fit clips for engaging with the respective one or more engaging holes of the base sheet metal are provided, wherein each of the plurality of first press-fit clips and the one or more second press-fit clips comprises: a base; two lower edges protruding diagonally and divergently from the base; and two upper edges respectively connected to the two lower edges, the two upper edges converging at an acute angle, wherein the base, the two lower edges, and the two upper edge in combination form a polygonal shape having a widest portion where the lower edges connect with the respective upper edges, the widest portion being compressible to facilitate a press-fit engagement, and wherein the plurality of first press-fit clips have a greater combined engaging force than the one or more second press-fit clips such that the engagement of the one or more second press-fit clips with the respective one or more engaging holes of the base sheet metal are releasable by a tensile force without releasing the engagement of the plurality of first press-fit clips from the respective plurality of engaging holes of the vehicle roof sheet metal.
