A refrigerator appliance includes a cabinet, a storage bin, a guide, and a cover. The cabinet defines an internal cavity. The storage bin is disposed within the internal cavity. The guide movably secures the storage bin to the cabinet such that the storage bin is movable into and out of the internal cavity via the guide. The cover is operable to conceal the guide. The cover is secured to the storage bin. The cover is secured to the guide such that the storage bin is secured to the guide via the cover. The cover has a protrusion extending laterally inward therefrom. The protrusion engages the storage bin to restrict lateral movement of the storage bin.
