Abstract
A robustly constructed box-shaped reinforcing member is securely mounted to a vehicle floor panel with its one end portion located at a side sill above which a door opening is defined. A bracket member is securely mounted to the hinged side door at a portion which is engageable with the end of the reinforcing member when the door assumes its closed position. Thus, when the side door tends to be forced into the passenger compartment by an external force applied thereto, the bracket member movable with the door is brought into engagement with the end of the reinforcing member thereby preventing the side door from continuing its inward movement.
