An improved divided structure of a long plastic component for a vehicle is provided to facilitate an adjustment of a clearance in a joint between constituent parts thereof, thereby setting the clearance at an adequately small dimension. A plurality of constituent parts making up the long plastic component such as a side sill garnish are combined together into one long piece and mounted on a vehicle body. A first garnish is mounted on the vehicle body, and a second garnish is mounted on the first garnish in such a manner as to overlap with the first garnish from a direction substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the side sill garnish. Accordingly, the first garnish and the second garnish, which have been joined together, can be mounted on the vehicle body.
