A guide rail includes: a first rail that has a bottom wall on which a load roller rolls and supports the weight of a sliding door; a second rail that has side walls on which two guide rollers roll and defines a moving direction of the sliding door; and a first restriction part that restricts the motion of the load roller in an axial direction.

Guide rail

An upper rail is located along an upper edge of a boarding opening. A center rail extends from a side edge of the boarding opening in a direction away from the boarding opening. A lower rail is located along a lower edge of a sliding door. An upper hinge that is guided by the upper rail and a center hinge that is guided by the center rail slide with the sliding door. A lower hinge that is guided by the lower rail is located at each of front and rear side edges of the boarding opening, and does not slide. A lower edge lock mechanism fixes the lower edge of the sliding door to a vehicle body side structure.

Vehicle side structure

A slide door driving device includes a support plate that is an elongated plate member, two driven pulleys supported respectively by opposite ends of the support plate in a longitudinal direction of the support plate; a belt wound around the two driven pulleys; a connector by which the belt is connected to the slide door; and a driving portion supported by the support plate and configured to drive the belt.

Slide door driving device

A latch structure includes: a door that is changeable between a closed state in which the door covers a door opening provided on a peripheral wall of a vehicle and an opened state in which the door opens the door opening; a floor panel that constitutes a floor surface of an interior space; a door-side engaging portion mounted on the door; and a floor-side engaging portion mounted on the floor panel and engageable with the door-side engaging portion when the door is in the closed state.

In-vehicle door latch structure and vehicle

A cabin-interior upright wall of a door inner panel is configured by a first panel member alone. An extension wall extends toward a door outer panel from an end of the cabin-interior upright wall. A lower portion of a front upright wall, which is part of the extension wall, is segmented in a door thickness direction. The extension wall is configured such that a first extension portion of a first panel member is joined to a second extension portion of a second panel member in a state overlapped with the second extension portion.

Vehicle door structure

A suspension member, including a front cross member that has a rectangular closed cross-sectional shape, as seen in a cross-section orthogonal to an extension direction of the front cross member, and that is provided with an engine mount bracket at a top wall of the front cross member, is provided. The front cross member includes: a first inclined wall that, as seen in the cross-section, connects an inner surface of the top wall and an inner surface of a front wall of the front cross member, and forms a closed cross-sectional shape at an upper front corner portion of the front cross member; and a second inclined wall that, as seen in the cross-section, connects an inner surface of a bottom wall and an inner surface of a rear wall of the front cross member, and forms a closed cross-sectional shape at a lower rear corner portion.

Suspension member

A suspension member includes: a pair of left and right front body mounts, each of which has a front side rail part extending in a front-rear direction of a vehicle body, and a cross part extending inward in a vehicle width direction; a front cross member extending in the vehicle width direction, in which both end parts of the front cross member in the vehicle width direction are joined to the cross parts, respectively; and a protective member that extends in the vehicle width direction and covers an entire lower wall of the front cross member, has a jack-up part for a jack to be applied, and is joined to the lower wall of the front cross member, the jack-up part being provided integrally in the protective member.

A reinforcing structure of a vehicle frame member includes: ribs that integrally connect standing wall portions, that are formed at a planar portion of a vehicle frame member, to one another, and that reinforce the planar portion; portions of gradually changing thickness that are formed at connected portions of the ribs with the standing wall portions; portions of gradually changing height that are formed at the connected portions of the ribs with the standing wall portions; first curved portions that are formed at the portions of gradually changing thickness; second curved portions that are formed at the portions of gradually changing thickness; third curved portions that are formed at the portions of gradually changing height; and fourth curved portions that are formed at the portions of gradually changing height.

Reinforcing structure of vehicle frame member

A vehicle press door structure includes: a door frame in which an open portion having a recess-shaped cross-section that is open to an inner peripheral side is formed by a door outer panel, and a door inner panel arranged on a vehicle width direction inside of the door outer panel; a door glass run that has lip portions that respectively extend toward a center side from both side portions of a door glass run main body having a recess-shaped cross-section and slidingly contact a door glass, the door glass run being fit into the open portion with a base portion between both of the side portions of the door glass nm main body opposing an inside wall of the door inner panel; and a seal portion that protrudes from the base portion and contacts the inside wall, and extends in a length direction of the door glass run main body.
