Abstract
A reinforcing structure for a package tray side member provides a rigid connection between the package tray side member and a vehicle body while enabling the package tray side member to be re-positioned towards a rear end of a vehicle. The package tray side member is re-positioned so as to be located between a rear end of the vehicle and a seat belt retractor and a shock absorber. Upper and lower end portions of the package tray side member are reinforced, and are respectively coupled to a package tray side panel of a vehicle and to a floor upper side member of a floor panel of the vehicle.
