A structure is described for covering slide legs of seat slides attached to a floor panel through openings which are formed in a floor carpet placed on the floor panel. Portions of the floor carpet which correspond to the slide legs attached to the floor panel are swelled upward to form cover portions each having a wall erected toward the seat slide. Each erected wall is cut off or cutting is applied to three sides of the erected wall at each of the cover sections, leaving one side thereof not cut so as to enable the erected wall portion to be folded downward along the uncut side onto the back face of the floor carpet. The bottom edges of both side faces of each of the cover portions are cut to open both side faces. These side faces are inserted under the back face of the floor carpet after the slide legs are attached to the floor panel.
