A structure for fixing a connector to a vehicle member comprising a connector, a wall provided within said vehicle including a connector fixing hole for engaging the connector, the connector comprising a first locking piece and a second locking piece and a region therebetween. The first locking piece and the second locking piece are attached to the connector and releasably engage a portion of the wall of the vehicle member at the region between the first and second locking pieces. The method includes the steps of inserting the first connector from an inner side of the vehicle member into the connector fixing hole and partially penetrating the connector fixing hole to an outer side of the vehicle member, rotating the first connector while the first connector is located in the connector fixing hole, engaging a portion of the vehicle member at the region between a first locking piece and second locking piece of the first connector such that the first connector is prevented from generally perpendicular removal from the connector fixing hole, and coupling the first connector with the second connector.
