an electrical wire bundle;
an exterior member mounted on a portion of the outer periphery of the electrical wire bundle via an adhesive member that fixes the exterior member to the electrical wire bundle; and
an adherend having a main surface as a flat surface, wherein
the exterior member has an outer surface as a flat surface, and
wherein the outer surface of the exterior member and the main surface of the adherend are bonded to each other via the adhesive member while the electrical wire bundle is disposed on the main surface of the adherend,
wherein the adhesive member includes a welding layer that is melted and bonded to at least one of the outer surface of the exterior member and the main surface of the adherend, and
wherein the adhesive member is wound around the electrical wire bundle and the exterior member to fix the exterior member to the electrical wire bundle without being interposed between the exterior member and the electrical wire bundle.
