Abstract
A slide rail structure of a vehicle for sliding a seat relative to a vehicle floor can include a rail member having an upper opening portion, a slide member, and cover members disposed on the rail member. The rail member can also include lateral portions, upper portions and downward extending portions. Each of the cover members can include a fixed portion and a cover portion. The fixed portion further can include an attaching portion attached to the rail member, and a protruding portion that protrudes into the upper opening portion. The cover portion can be positioned upward of and spaced apart from the protruding portion, so as to normally cover the upper opening portion of the rail member without contacting the protruding portion. The cover portion can also contact the protruding portion so as to be restricted from being deformed downward when the cover portion is moved downward.
