A protector includes a protector main body, a lid member, a locking mechanism, and a pair of guide mechanisms. The locking mechanism has a locking hole formed in the lid member and opens on opposite sides in a height direction and a locking lug portion positioned at an end portion of an opposed wall portion on a side of an opening and that is locked to the locking hole. The locking mechanism locks the protector main body and the lid member to each other in a correct position. The guide mechanisms have guide chips positioned at opposite end portions in a width direction of the lid member and extending along the height direction and guide holes positioned at the end portions of the opposed wall portions on the side of the opening and into which the guide chips are respectively inserted along the height direction.

A protective member able to prevent a protector from being large-sized, and to prevent a crush of an end section of a corrugated tube, a tube mounting structure using such a protective member, and a method of mounting a tube are provided. An inner member (protective member) includes: a tubular section fitted into an end section of a corrugated tube, and harder than this corrugated tube; and an outer peripheral rib formed so as to extend in a circumferential direction on an outer periphery of the tubular section, and inserted into an inner peripheral annular concave at the end section of the corrugated tube.
